Little Treatments, Big Effects

"Little Treatments, Big Effects carries a message of profound hope: that we all have the power to take small steps that will have a big impact on our journeys toward meaning, growth and mental health. Rooted in rigorous research, Little Treatments, Big Effects is full of powerful stories of coping and recovery -- Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive Global Little Treatments, Big Effects is a truly remarkable book with the potential to change the face of mental health treatments. These ""little treatments"" are amazingly short, widely accessible, rigorously tested and surprisingly effective. They are not meant to replace other treatments, but in this time of such great need and such little availability, programmes like this are game changers. The book is also riveting, filled with people's personal accounts of their psychological turning points-moments when they suddenly saw their path forward. Just about everyone will benefit from this book! -- Carol Dweck, professor of psychology, Stanford University and bestselling author of 'Mindset' Imagine that a person struggling with their mental health can get the help they need, when they need it, where they are, with a good chance of a quick resolution of their distress. That is the vision presented in this book, a compelling blend of the personal lived experience, innovative science and practical self-help tools which makes it an essential resource for global mental health -- Vikram Patel, Pershing Square professor of global health, Harvard Medical School This beautifully written book is an absolute must! Dr Schleider radiates compassion and her scientifically grounded message is as simple as it is profound: mental health can be reliably improved by brief, carefully structured experiences that can be made accessible to everyone. This is a deeply hopeful message for our troubled times -- James J. Gross, Ernest R. Hilgard professor of psychology, Stanford University This small book has the potential for a big impact. Beautifully written, it combines science with stories that together serve as the prelude for practical strategies to facilitate change. It is clear throughout that single session interventions complement existing provision but do not replace it. Transformative and ground-breaking, it is essential reading for anyone who has mental health difficulties, works in mental health or wants to help loved ones -- Roz Shafran, professor at UCL Great Ormond Institute of Child Health and author of 'Overcoming Perfectionism' and 'The CBT Handbook'"
