Deconstructing Psychopathology

This accessible text provides a critical perspective on the institutions, practices and presuppositions that underlie the study of "psychopathology". The authors, coming from backgrounds in clinical psychology, psychiatric social work, psychoanalysis, psychology teaching and action research, challenge the traditions of the field. This is an invaluable text for students and practitioners across a range of disciplines who are working to understand mental health and distress.
