Reviews

Light therapy pioneer Rosenthal offers an all-in-one resource aimed at those suffering from seasonal affective disorder...An extensive primer covering basic SAD knowledge and new developments in diagnosis and treatment . . .  He does an admirable job in making his subject not only relatable, but compelling, charmingly dropping in quotes from William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, and Emily Dickinson to drive home certain points.  Kirkus Reviews Expand reviews
