ABSTRACT
In this chapter we review the depressive disorders as categorized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4ed Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR, 2000). We review the specifics of the disorders and currently recognized treatments, including parallels between CBT, an evidence-based treatment for depression, and NLP. We then discuss how NLPt can be utilized to help aid the symptoms of depressive disorders, research evidence to date, and provide a clinical case example.
