This series conducts a thorough examination of some of society’s most pressing mental health concerns. Each book provides an engaging introduction to each topic by providing background, history, and anecdotal evidence of the condition being explored. Following chapters detail the definition, causes, impact on daily living, and treatment options for each disorder. Extensive source notes, a list of contact organizations, resources for further research, and picture credits are included with each title. These books are quite detailed and will require close reading by student researchers. However, the information is comprehensive and will provide readers with an excellent introduction to these difficult topics.
