Title
Not So Abnormal Psychology: A Pragmatic View of Mental Illness,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This text offers a pragmatic and compassionate approach that can revolutionize readers understanding of abnormal psychology.Each year, tens of thousands of students across the country enroll in abnormal psychology courses. The majority of these students are taught that mental illnesses are geneticallydetermined malfunctions in the brain, that the American Psychiatric Association's DSM5 is the primary means of diagnosis and assessment, and that psychotropic medications and cognitivebehavioral interventions are the only scientifically appropriate tools for symptom management.In this warm and deeply personal text, author Ronald B. Miller offers students a different approach. Starting with his own professional and personal search for meaning as a young scholar, Miller guides readers through a historical tour of alternative conceptualizations and treatments for psychological problems. Across a comprehensive range of mental illnesses, including developmental disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders and schizophrenia, he reviews theoretical bases, methods of diagnosis and assessment, and treatments that have long produced successful outcomes, yet have too often been denigrated or ignored by proponents of the dominant approaches to mental health care.A muchneeded critical examination of reigning orthodoxies, such as our tendency to pathologize psychological difficulties and to downplay or ignore subjective experiences of human suffering, this text offers a pragmatic and compassionate approach that can revolutionize readers' understanding of abnormal psychology.
