The Multi-Path Model of Mental Disorders provides an organizational framework for understanding the four factors (biological, psychological, social and sociocultural) that interact to cause mental disorders, the complexity of their interacting components and the need to view disorders from a holistic framework. In addition, a Future Directions section at the end of each chapter discusses new trends in policy, research or treatment.
Bringing chapter concepts to life, case studies begin and appear throughout each chapter to humanize mental health and mental disorders. Many cases are taken from journal articles and actual clinical files.
Streamlined Disorder Charts provide snapshots of disorders in an easy-to-read, quick-reference format.
Did You Know? boxes in the margins capture students' interest by providing fascinating highlights of research-based information.
