Editat de Howard S. Friedmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2001
According to 1990 estimates, mental disorders represent five of the ten leading causes of disability.* Among "developed" nations, including the United States, major depression is the leading cause of disability. Also near the top of these rankings are bipolar depression, alcohol dependence, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, mental disorders are tragic contributors to mortality, with suicide perennially representing one of the leading preventable causes of death worldwide.
The Disorderspresents a comprehensive overview of the disorders afflicting mental health patients. It describes the impact of mental health on the individual and society and illustrates the factors that aid positive mental health. Thirty-five peer-reviewed articles written by more than 50 expert authors include essential material on specific disorders affecting modern society. Professionals and libraries will find this timely work indispensable.

Recenzii
"The
litmus
test
for
a
volume
such
as
this
rests
in
asking
two
questions.
Are
the
articles
cogent
articulations
of
current
thinking
and
methodology?
Do
they
serve
to
both
explicate
and
enrich
the
subject
area?
These
critera,
we
can
say,
are
satisfied.
This
book
deserves
a
strong
recommendation
as
a
test
and
reference
for
psychopathology.
Broad
based,
the
book
is
written
by
experts
for
generalists
as
well
as
for
those
doing
clinical
work
in
the
given
areas...
The
diversity,
clinical
coverage,
and
liveliness
of
the
ideas
make
this
collection
stimulating
for
practitioners
and
academics
alike.
Each
topic
enjoys
a
robust
portrayal.
Disorders
are
place
in
epidemiological
context,
their
diagnostic
features
provided,
and
their
most
obvious
forms
illustrated.
The
often
overlooked
social
impairment
or
prevention
is
refreshingly
included
in
many
cases,
elucidating
the
implications
of
the
disorders
beyond
matters
of
diagnosis
and
invervention,
also
covered
thoroughly
in
most
cases."
