Overview

The Depression Project at the Ackerman Institute for the Family has pioneered a marital therapy approach that addresses the cultural gender “mandates” that predispose men and women to depression and undermine intimate relationships.

This emotionally compelling video features a series of real clinical sessions in which the Depression Project’s treatment team works with a severely depressed couple to help reduce marital discord, alleviate each partner’s feelings of despair, and bolster the couple’s sense of competency and satisfaction within the marriage.
