Description
This text takes a comprehensive approach to all aspects of mental health, holistically examining the cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of mental health.
By examining mental health from a variety of perspectives, the authors have created a holistic view that incorporates public health, medicine and psychiatry, psychology, counseling, and health education. Both classic and contemporary sources support the basic premise of the text, that total health is a complex tapestry of many wellness factors, but that mental health is the integrating cloth woven throughout that lends substance and support to the quality of human experience.
Table of Contents
Each chapter concludes with "Summary," "Discussion Questions," and "References." All chapters, except 12, also conclude with "Related Websites."
