This is a self-learning guide for new professionals and lay readers. This volume covers diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, in hospitals and the community. This book is NOT for self diagnosis, but to demonstrate the processes. The book contains fictitious case studies, showing how diagnoses are formed, symptoms, treatments and clarifying exercises. A typical 'day in the life of' a range of mental health professionals is useful for those seeking a career in mental health and dispelling some of the myths.
Marianne Richards received professional acclaim for her layman's guides to mental illness in plain English.
