A Guide To Clinical Psychology: Psychopathology (PDF)

by Frank Columbus (Author)
Clinical psychology in the past few decades has shown explosive growth and today is the single largest subfield of psychologists. It focuses on the biological, cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of human functioning in varying age, socioeconomic, clinical, and cultural groups. While clinical psychology was mainly concerned with mental health, a number of sub-specialties have emerged including child mental health, adult mental health, learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, substance abuse, geriatrics, female psychology and health psychology. Health Psychology is concerned with the psychological contributions to promote and maintain health, to study the etiological and diagnostic correlates of health and illness and to prevent and manage illnesses. This compilation includes contributions of mental health professionals from across the globe working in diverse areas related to clinical psychology. Topics include: Aggression, Stigma of Psychiatric Disorders, Psychological Aspects of Rape, Emotional Divorce, Domestic Violence against Women, Perimenopause, Female Sexuality, Suicide, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Delusional Misidentification Syndromes, Depression, Suicide, Alcohol Dependence, Smoking Cessation, Internet Addiction, Cyber Fraud, Social Media Use, and mental health effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
