- ... points of the compass and tell everyone, out loud: ‘I have I have killed!' Then God will send you life again… you must accept suffering and redeem yourself by it, that's what." The two stories required different forms of coping with sufferings. In Crime and Punishment Raskolnikov realises that what he did was wrong and separated himself from his guilt by confessing to his crime.

The combination of these two elements are the very reason why Shukov was still alive during the story. The two stories are, however, similar in one aspect. Both of the main characters in One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Crime and Punishment find themselves in a situation and they realise what it is ... they learnt of surviving in the different extreme environments that they are both in. the way the protagonists cope with their suffering not only helps to resolve their suffering but provides the basis for two stories I so thoroughly enjoyed.

- 1679: Depression The Sadness Disease

Because of this approach, cognitive-behavioral therapy is short-term (usually conducted under two dozen sessions) and works best for people experiencing a fair amount of distress relating to their depression. Individuals who can approach a problem from a unique perspective and those who are more cognitively oriented are also likely to do better with this approach.
