Social skills training is helpful in treating and preventing the
recurrence of depression. Training focuses on assertiveness and
coping skills that lead to positive reinforcement from others.

such as herbals. Assertiveness would be of greater value than
relaxation training because passivity has been identified as a
concern. Desensitization is used in treatment of phobias<\/p>\n\n\n\n
