The recent rash of school shootings and youth violence across the nation has brought home to educators the value of having a text that can be used in mental hygiene classes by teachers and pupils to discuss mental illness in classroom settings. This is that book. The authors define and describe the many forms of mental illness in a simple but organized way that will allow for discussion and further research of the topics. This is not a be all and end all authority. It is a stepping stone to mental health education and is intended to be used as a guide for teachers, school administrators and parents navigating the field of mental illness. This volume includes discussion of the major diagnoses and refers readers ton other sources for more rare disorders. The appendices refer readers to professional and government resources as well as resources on the world wide web. This book is intended to bring greater understanding of mental illness and it is hoped that it will be used in middle schools and high schools to bring students and educators a better understanding of the mental health issues facing today's youth.

Industry Reviews

A useful first source of guidance and consultation for nonprofessionals, this is recommended for public libraries and collections serving counselors and health educators.--Library Journal
