Psychopathology: Research, Assessment & Treatment in Clinical Psychology - Third Edition
Graham Davey
Publishers: Wiley-Blackwell
​To Be Published: 4th February 2021
Picture
​One of the main aims of this third edition was to update the research database in the book, and we’ve included a total of over one thousand one hundred new updated references spread across all seventeen chapters. This enables Psychopathology to act as a source book for students and instructors wanting to access the most recent evidence-based research on the causes and treatments of mental health problems.
 
There have been many significant developments in the science, treatment and conceptualization of mental health problems over recent years and many of these are represented in this third edition. These developments include the growth in alternative evidence-based approaches to diagnosing and categorizing mental health problems; the surge in research in epigenetics and the possibility that many forms of early experience may moderate the expression of genes in ways that affect mental health symptoms; the continuing advancement of the neurodiversity movement, which promotes the idea that there is not just one “normal” or “healthy” type of brain; the growing importance of network analyses showing how mental health symptoms interact; and the greater understanding of how mental health problems develop out of the socioeconomic conditions in which people live, and are not in any simple way about biological or even psychological dysfunction.
 
Just like the first and second editions, this third edition is supplemented by a range of features designed to facilitate effective teaching and learning. These include Focus Point Boxes for more in depth discussion of particular topics that are conceptually important or of contemporary interest; Research Methods boxes containing detailed descriptions of methods used in psychopathology research; Case Histories describing the symptoms, experiences and life circumstances encountered by those with lived experience of mental health problems; Client’s Perspective Boxes providing descriptions of the experience of psychopathology; Treatment in Practice Boxes giving detailed insight into how individual treatments are conducted in practice; and Self-Test Questions to test the reader’s knowledge of facts and concepts.
 
The book also has a companion website providing both learning and teaching resources as well as video material and links to further information about mental health problems.
