The Science of Mental Health

There has been a revolution in our understanding of mental illness and its effect on society. The science of mental illness has made enormous strides based on the just-completed decade of the brain and is poised to make quantum progress again based on the completion of the Human Genome Project. These and other developments are covered in this new multi-volume set, which brings together in one in-depth collection the most significant recent scholarship on mental and addictive disorders.
To create this valuable collection, a leading expert in the field has reviewed thousands of articles in hundreds of scientific journals. The result is an authoritative selection that represents the most significant research worldwide and provides a uniquely balanced perspective on the field. The volumes are organized to provide cutting-edge views of the epidemiology, genetics, evolutionary perspectives, and brain and behavioral science of mental illness, as well as selected papers on treatment. The collection offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview, and includes introductions that make the technical aspects of the papers accessible.
