"The goal for this text is to emphasize that treatment of psychosis must be tailored to the needs of individual patients. While a given diagnosis may suggest principle mechanisms under prescription guidelines, standard treatment of psychosis is unfeasible due to no two patients suffering from an identical illness. This text therefore aims to contrast the one-size-fits-all treatment that general medicine has taken for granted, and instead focuses on building psychiatrist and patient relationships to foster individual treatment plans"-- Provided by publisher

What causes mental health problems, and what are the best treatments? How do personal experiences with these issues compare to academic models? This extensively updated textbook builds on its first edition by incorporating the latest research, therapeutic approaches, and clinical practice developments. Key features include expanded coverage of the aetiology of conditions, assessment of DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, and analysis of cross-cultural issues. It also presents case studies with patient perspectives and introduces a new chapter on somatoform disorders. Enhanced pedagogy, including research boxes and critical thinking prompts, encourages deeper engagement with the material. The book retains the original structure, divided into two main sections: the first critically evaluates conceptual models of mental health and treatment, while the second offers in-depth analyses of disorders like schizophrenia, trauma-related conditions, and addictions. Chapters in the second section have been restructured to provide comprehensive aetiology and treatment analysis. Each disorder is examined from psychological, social, and biological perspectives, exploring various intervention types. This text serves as a comprehensive European alternative to established US textbooks for undergraduates in the field.
