`This book is appropriately pitched at an introductory level, the author taking pains to explain basic psychological and psychiatric concepts and organizational procedures... a highly accessible and excellent introductory text for psychology undergraduates and students of counselling' - Behaviour Research and Therapy
A valuable addition to any students reading list, a broad selection of the most common psychopathology, presenting issues, referral and assessment covered together with information on developmental psychopathology. Very reader friendly, good use of case studies, this is always very popular with students, great book
I found this to be an excellent text. Lemma gets to the heart of the debates around mental health and is balanced and credible. Information on mental health conditions is comprehensive and trustworthy. I have recommended this to my students as a core text
A clear and accessible text that frames a potentially complex subject within the context of Counselling, rather than a totally clinical setting such as Clinical Psychology. It explores a number of questions as well as providing information.
This is a very well written book, that, whilst not written for Mental Health Nurses is still a text that I will recommend student nurses to read
This is a succient and yet comprehensive introduction to pathology text. Ideal as a core reading text for students new to pathology. Well laid out and covers the essential aspects including treatment options for the major pathologies. Used it ideally with Access to Counselling students and will use it with Level 4 students as a recomended reading. The students found the reading accesible and relevant for their studies.
Very interesting book ! Very well written! Many challenging concepts and a fantastic opportunity to explore key issues on psychopathology. The approaches to 'abnormality' and diagnosis deserve special mention. This book is highly recommended ! Dr Alberto Corizzo
