Abstract
: 
"The new edition of Understanding psychopathology explains pathology symptoms as an integrated concept using a broad range of evidence-based sources, including but not restricted to the International Classification of Disorders (ICD) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The book discusses the situational factors underpinning mental health, including psychosocial issues, different causes of illness and cultural and historical mistrust, while considering factors such as poverty, HIV, and community issues and their effect on mental health. This integrative, biopsychosocial perspective illustrates how psychopathology results from a wide array of difference-makers, including social determinants." --Publisher.
