Thunder of the captains : the short summer in 1950 /

Another book about depression (female variety) by a psychiatrist who makes that her specialty and a professional feminist-journalist. The same old symptoms are catalogued here--enervation; loss of appetite for food and sex; the reverse; repressed anger; thoughts of suicide; misery. The same antidotes are offered--recognize the anger; get out of the house; know that you are valuable. And in the same old format--quizzes like ""Do You Suffer From Marriage Anger"" and case histories like the sad story of Charyl who sits at home on Saturday night to eat compulsively while her boyfriend visits his children. It's all too depressing for words. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
