A unique case study book, Adult Psychopathology Case Studies
presents adult client case studies that describe the ways in which
people with psychological disorders are likely to think, feel, and
act. Written by experienced clinicians and well-known authorities
in their respective specialties, it brings together the work of an
international group of contributors who address the nature, origin,
development, manifestations, course, and prognosis of a diverse
range of adult psychopathological conditions.
Close examination is given to the clinical, personal,
contextual, theoretical, ethical, and legal dimensions of case
studies, along with insightful, real-world focus on overlapping
themes, such as culture, substance abuse, domestic violence, and
sexual abuse. Authors illustrate rational case formulation, but
stop short of exhaustive or doctrinaire analyses that would
discourage alternative opinions on how and why a disturbance
occurred or its likely outcome-giving students an opportunity to
apply their own knowledge to each case and providing instructors
with material that will spark lively classroom discussion and
debate.
The contributors also bring a broad range of theoretical
perspectives to the diverse array of case studies, including
psychoanalytic, psychodynamic-interpersonal, cognitive, and
cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations of psychopathology and
psychotherapeutic methods.
Adult Psychopathology Case Studies includes thirteen full-length
case studies in the following categories:
- Personality disorders
- Anxiety and somatoform disorders
- Identity disorders
- Habit disorders
- Serious or psychotic disorders
Also includedare six brief case studies covering:
- Adjustment disorder
- Dependent personality disorder
- Schizotypal personality disorder
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Polysubstance dependence
- Depressive disorder
Adult Psychopathology Case Studies offers an engaging and
perceptive look into the real world of adult psychopathology and
provides students with an enriching "hands-on" learning experience
as they apply their knowledge and techniques to each of the unique
case studies provided in this book.
