Introducing Psychopathology is an essential course companion for counselling, psychotherapy and counselling psychology trainees. It explains how to describe and diagnose client problems in clear, accessible language, demystifying the concept of psychopathology and revealing it as an integral aspect of training and practice. The book is entirely comprehensive in its coverage of client problems, groups, methods of assessment, up-to-date research and settings,

covering crucial topics from assessment and diagnosis to the clinical symptoms of emotional distress, including severe or enduring disorders like schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder
providing a framework for psychiatric diagnosis and classification and covering risk assessment in detail
concluding with a chapter on holistic approaches and emotional wellbeing.

Case studies and exercises throughout the book make sense of the theory in real-life practice and the author's enthusiasm for her subject makes for a uniquely engaging, readable guide to the complexities of psychopathologies.

Industry Reviews

Beautifully written, and richly illustrated with vignettes, this book describes psychopathology in simple and accessible language. It contains helpful insights, useful resources and interesting questions. It is an indispensable survival guide for trainees and experienced therapists. I plan to recommend it to all my trainee therapists. -- Maria Luca, PhD I enjoyed reading this informative, empathic and engaging book and am certain that it will become the 'must have' introduction to this topic and also ensure that all those involved in mental health promotion and support ( at all levels) will have access to a relevant, user friendly and informative survival guide. -- Dr Tina Rae, Academic and Professional Tutor, University of East London
