Julian Simon was depressed for 13 long years, living each
day under a black cloud of sadness and pain. Simon consulted
psychiatrists and psychologists of several schools, and read
widely and critically in the psychological literature,
desperate to find some therapy that would banish his
depression.
Eventually he began to find help in the writings of
cognitive therapists. Simon cured his own depression within
weeks, and has remained depression-free for the past 18
years. He has made innovative contributions to the cognitive
approach, resulting in his own distinctive technizue,
Self-Comparison Analysis.
