From four practicing physicians comes this down-to-earth, easy to understand introduction to mental disorders-essentially a "what is it" book to help identify disorders, understand the ramifications, and assist teachers and families in providing a supportive environment for anyone who suffers from mental disorders. Arranged by broad category (following the DSM-IV-TR, the standard reference for medical professionals), disorders and their treatments are described, along with a list of helpful resources for the classroom, library, and home. Appendixes list important advocacy and support groups, appropriate videos for classroom viewing, and Web sites for further information. This useful tool makes a difficult subject readily accessible to students, teachers, and the general public. A Primer on Mental Disorders belongs in every school and public library and institutions of higher learning, as well as the offices of school counselors and administrators.

Industry Reviews
Teachers and school administrators who have students or parents suffering from the listed conditions will find the beginning of guidance here and will be able to formulate intelligent questions as they seek help beyond this text. High school and college students will find the text useful both for research and to come to a clearer understanding of the mental health issues faced by themselves, their friends, and their families.
