Understanding Troubled Minds: A Guide to Mental Illness and Its Treatment

Author(s): Sidney Bloch

Psychology

Most of us take our mental health for granted. But when confronted by mental illness in our family, our friends or ourselves, even the most competent among us is likely to become bewildered. Understanding Troubled Minds guides us through the full range of mental illnesses and available treatments. It deals with particular patterns of illness in women, children and the elderly. Stressing the value of partnership between psychiatrists, patients and their families, it tells us just what it is that psychiatrists and fellow health-workers do.
