About the book (from the publisher)

“Psychopathology and Mental Health” brings both the science and the personal aspects of the discipline to life in an attempt to answer pressing questions as accurately and sensitively as possible. For the 10th edition, longtime authors Thomas Oltmanns and Robert Emery are joined by new co-authors Kelsie Forbush and Susan South. The expanded author team discusses diagnosis and treatment in context to explain the biological, psychological and social perspectives on psychopathology and mental health.

The 10th edition incorporates the latest research findings, including references to hundreds of new studies. Topics receiving new and updated coverage include alternatives to the traditional categorical diagnostic system and the prevalence of mood disorder symptoms.
