Depressive Realism by Colin Feltham
The book examines the claim that people with depression sometimes make more accurate judgments about themselves and the world than non-depressed people, reviewing empirical studies and highlighting methodological limits and interpretive pitfalls; it situates this research within broader philosophical and clinical debates about truth, bias, and the value of positive illusion, arguing that findings are complex rather than definitive and that implications for therapy, diagnosis, and ethics deserve careful, context-sensitive consideration.
