Current Debates in Mental Health

The Science of Mental Health is a one-stop resource for major issues and classic controversies in mental health. To create this valuable collection, a leading expert in the field has reviewed thousands of articles in hundreds of scientific journals. The result is an authoritative selection that represents the most significant research worldwide and provides a uniquely balanced perspective on the field. Each volume examines a single illness, and considers the major disciplinary approaches used to investigate that illness. The volumes are organized to provide cutting-edge views of the epidemiology, genetics, evolutionary perspectives, and brain and behavioural science of mental illness, as well as selected papers on treatment. The collection has a solid educational mission to organise the scholarship on mental illnesses for those in related disciplines and for non-scientists.
