This volume is a compilation of articles that shed light on
psychopathology, how the one struggling with it experiences its
implications, and how it affects everyday life. For one to be
categorized as exhibiting positive mental health, an individual
should not experience psychopathology, and additionally exhibit
high levels of emotional well-being as well as high levels of
psychological and social functioning. The dual-factor model of
mental health suggests that enhancing positive mental health and
alleviating psychopathology do not automatically go together and
are not opposite of one another. There is accumulating evidence
that psychopathology and positive mental health function along two
different continua that are only moderately interrelated. However,
to know what wellbeing is, understand good mental health, and
enhance adaptive functioning, we need to explore and understand
psychopathology, and how it affects us. The volume is divided into
three conceptual sections: The Experience of Psychopathology, which
is devoted to describing what it is and how it is experienced; The
Effect of Psychopathology on Everyday Life, describes various
effects that psychopathology has on the daily life of the sufferer;
Coherence, Resilience and Recovery, which focuses on dealing with
it, coping with the symptoms, and developing resilience. The
chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of
Psychology.
