While a given diagnosis may suggest principle mechanisms under prescription guidelines, standard treatment of psychosis is unfeasible due to no two patients suffering from an identical illness.

Key features include expanded coverage of the aetiology of conditions, assessment of DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, and analysis of cross-cultural issues. It also presents case studies with patient perspectives and introduces a new chapter on somatoform disorders. Enhanced pedagogy, including research boxes and critical thinking prompts, encourages deeper engagement with the material. The book retains the original structure, divided into two main sections: the first critically evaluates conceptual models of mental health and treatment, while the second offers in-depth analyses of disorders like schizophrenia, trauma-related conditions, and addictions.

Each disorder is examined from psychological, social, and biological perspectives, exploring various intervention types.
