The most comprehensive textbook for students in advanced social
work and mental health courses is now completely revised and
updated for a new generation
When "Adult Psychopathology: A Social Work Perspective" was first
published in 1984, this pioneering text was the first to
conceptualize and organize theory and practice about the treatment
of the mentally ill within their families and communities from a
social work perspective. Now, in response to new developments in
theory and research, as well as changes in service delivery within
the field, the second edition contains updated and accessible
information on how mental illnesses develop and how they can be
treated within a social work framework that recognizes the
importance of family, economics, and culture as well as biochemical
and psychodynamic factors. Each chapter is written by the leading
social work authority on that subject and includes practical,
in-depth discussion of state-of-the-art technologies, treatments,
and research. The book encompasses the broad spectrum of topics
that social workers need to understand, including personality,
adjustment, schizophrenia, suicide, anxiety states, phobias,
neurological disorders, psychosexual disorders, drug and alcohol
addiction, eating disorders, and others. "Adult Psychopathology,
Second Edition" is essential for both M.S.W. and Ph.D. social work
students and, as the authoritative, unequaled reference book, will
aid clinicians in making more precise diagnoses in their daily
work.
