diverse theoretical viewpoints. Includes sections on Basic Assumptions; Maps
of the Mind:
Making Sense of Psychological Adaptation and Pathology; Assessment and Treatment
Planning, and Treatment. Chapters include: The Nature of Human Emotional Suffering;
Actions that Facilitate Emotional Healing; Characteristics of Mental Health;
The Mind and
the Brain: A Neurobiological Perspective; Targeting Specific Problems; and The
Role of
Psychotropic Medications.
