Description

Understanding psychopathology 4th edition provides an introduction to psychopathology that is up-to-date, integrative, and both locally and culturally relevant, presenting South African and African research where available. While explanations of disorders have been revised throughout, in this edition diagnostic criteria tables from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) have been selectively included based on disorders commonly focused on in undergraduate psychology programmes. In addition, the fourth edition integrates a stronger biopsychosocial approach throughout the book, discussing the situational factors underpinning mental health.
