This is a comprehensive, jargon-free guide aimed at volunteers, patients, carers, new professionals and students of mental health, as well as the keen general reader. The book contains a wealth of information, including a history of mental illness from primitive times to the 20th century, with the often-bizarre treatments meted out in earlier times. There is a selection of case histories on common disorders, together with 'pen portraits' illustrating 'a day in the life of' medical and non-medical therapists. Illustrated throughout with a glossary, suggested reading and index. The keen student is sure to find topics of interest for further study in this fascinating field. |
