I think you're right-this area of research is neglected. There is a triangle of power-the drug companies, the medical profession, and the government that have a vested interest in the status quo. Just imagine if more people were aware of Richard Bentall's view (in 'Madness Explained) that diagnosis in mental health is as valid as your horoscope-that's me as a Virgo saying that! I will give details of my findings and implications for practice in the future if people are interested, Thanks again to everyone.

First to Sarah & Rosie. The knowledge that depression is not due to a chemical imbalance as a permanent thing can be liberating. Our 'chemical balance' is constantly changing and we have the power to change that. Wow-how good is that! Finding ways to lift our spirits can be so much fun, although sometimes we need a 'good companion' to help us do this. I'm going to sort out the 'hows' of video therapy soon & will offer some free sessions in exchange for feedback. How does that sound? Let me know, Thanks, Roger Thanks for all the replies & apologies for my delay in replying.
