I was most impressed by the author's thoroughness in writing this
book. She seems to leave no stone uncovered... [this is] a work
which should become a necessity for all counsellors, counselling
psychologists, psychiatric nurses and psychotherapists... This is a
book to which I will make reference time and time again, and one
which will occupy a prominent place in my library' - Counselling,
The Journal of the British Association for Counselling `An
invaluable handbook for students of psychotherapy and a good
reference for established therapists... I recommend that all
therapists have a copy of this book on their shelf' - Psychology,
Health & Medicine Assessment and referral skills are essential
for counsellors and psychotherapists. Practitioners need to have an
understanding of the clinical manifestations of severe emotional
distress. They must, for example, be able to recognize when clients
are a suicide risk or when they are suffering from a psychotic
episode. This lively textbook provides a clear overview of the
issues involved in our understanding of psychopathology and offers
guidelines on appropriate interventions. Alessandra Lemma explores
a range of key topics, covering how psychiatric diagnoses and
classifications are arrived at, and the issues that can arise when
working in conjunction with other mental health practitioners, such
as psychiatrists. She addresses the needs of practitioners in
relation to some of the more common forms of mental distress -
depression, anxiety and eating problems - as well as some of the
more controversial diagnoses, such as schizophrenia and `borderline
personality disorder'. The book concludes with a discussion of
alternatives to mainstream approaches, including those which seek
to deconstruct the concept of psychopathology. Introduction to
Psychopathology offers a framework for assessing clients which
incorporates a broad range of models and approaches, and which
takes into account psychological, social and biological factors. It
will be an invaluable resource for students of counselling,
counselling psychology, psychotherapy and clinical psychology.
