Description
Book Synopsis Public Health Aspects of Diagnosis and Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders provides mental health service planners, clinicians and researchers with a better understanding of how the current state of mental health classification and diagnosis impacts public health care.
Trade ReviewThis book differs from other books on this topic by taking a global macroperspective to classification issues rather than targeting the controversies of a specific psychiatric disorder or focusing exclusively on DSM-5. Thus, this volume will be of interest to a wide-ranging international audience of clinicians, advocates, and policy makers involved in mental health assessment and health promotion.
