Abstract
:
"Leaving no stone unturned, Psychopathology and Mental Distress uses the most up-to-date research to cover a broad range of approaches to the origins, diagnoses and treatment of psychological disorders. Through first-person accounts, case studies and nuanced engagement with topical debates, this text promotes inclusivity, normalises diversity and deconstructs societal biases. Raskin's highly accessible text is now streamlined and updated with invaluable pedagogical features to help students navigate difficult ideas and build their own arguments. Including references to DSM-5-TR, ICD-11 and PDM, the combination of psychological, biological, historical, sociocultural and therapeutic approaches makes this the most comprehensive and vital book on the market"-- Provided by publisher.
