Deconstructing Psychopathology [EPUB ebook] 

Ủng hộ

`Fast becoming a contemporary classic… this book tries both to be critical and engender critical thinking in a number of ways. It offers an overview of a number of theories that address human distress as well as particular forms of ‘pathology’. This book effectively highlights the way that western society has taken ‘normal’; and ‘abnormal’ emotional states to be factual entities rather than the constructed understandings of human phenomena that they are…. should be on the reading list of every course/module that attends to human distress′ – Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis

This practical and accessible critique of the institutions, practices and presuppositions that underlie the study of `psychopathology′ will be invaluable for students and practitioners who are working to understand mental health and distress.

The authors – who come from backgrounds in clinical psychology, psychiatric social work, psychoanalysis, psychology teaching and action research – challenge the traditions of the field. They analyze the notion of `psychopathology′ as a conventional term in psychology and psychiatry through the language and institutions that hold it in place; and explore the implications of deconstructive ideas for the theories and practices that sustain clinical treatments; and offer an alternative way of seeing `psychopathology′, with accounts of critical professional work and good practice.

Deconstructing Psychopathology is invaluable reading for students, academics and practitioners across a range of disciplines who are working to understand mental health and distress, including

clinical and counselling psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric social work, counselling and psychotherapy.
