Lambert (psychology, Randolph-Macon College) and Kinsley (neuroscience, U. of Richmond) wrote this text to offer students an approach to mental health that integrates neurobiological mechanisms into the coverage of disorders. The introductory chapters include historical and contemporary overviews of theories and therapies. Subsequent sections cover the fundamentals of clinical neuroscience, clinical disorders and balancing the mind-body equation. Each chapter includes vignettes highlighting connections between a clinical or applied observation and a program of research; case studies; and brief biographies of important researchers.
