Handbook of Depression, Second Edition
Bringing together the field's leading authorities, this acclaimed work is widely regarded as the standard reference on depression. The Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the epidemiology, course, and outcome of depressive disorders; issues in assessment and diagnosis; psychological and biological risk factors; effective approaches to prevention and treatment; and the nature of depression in specific populations. Each chapter offers a definitive statement of current theories, methods, and research findings, while also identifying key questions that remain unanswered.
Children of Depressed Parents
Annotation Mental health experts present 12 chapters exploring mechanisms of transmission that increase the risk for developing depression, and identifying interventions to alleviate that risk. They focus on children at various developmental stages and discuss clinical implications. Topics include the mechanisms of risk (nature-nurture interplay, effects of maternal depression in the prenatal stage and in infant psychobiological development, parental depression and child attachment, and others); moderators of risk; and intervention, integration, and recommendations. Edited by Goodman (psychology and psychology, Emory U.) and Gotlib (psychology, Stanford U.). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Stress and Mental Health
Providing fresh insights into the complex relationship between stress and mental health, internationally recognized contributors identifie emerging conceptual issues, highlight promising avenues for further study, and detail novel methodological techniques for addressing contemporary empirical problems. Specific coverage includes stressful life events, chronic strains, psychosocial resources and mediators, vulnerability to stress, and mental health outcomes-thus providing researchers with a tool to take stock of the past and future of this field.
Stress and Adversity Over the Life Course
This book examines the influence of early stressful experiences over the life course.
Psychological Aspects of Depression
Psychological approaches to this disorder have grown tremendously in importance and interest. The authors provide a comprehensive and cohesive viewpoint by integrating available literature on the social and cognitive aspects of depression. Details its symptoms, the criteria and assessment instruments used to measure and diagnose depression plus its epidemiology. Includes the major psychological theories of this affliction and discusses empirical findings from relevant studies.
Sourcebook of Social Support and Personality
The work of 47 contributors from the U.S., Canada, and Israel, the Sourcebook gives special attention to the complexity of the social support construct, expanding the field's theoretical base by seriously reappraising social support research in the context of findings from other fields of psychology and related disciplines. Personality processes are specified to account for observed associations between social support and physical well-being. Several new studies are included which illustrate empirical approaches to exploring these processes. And key contributions highlight the great strides made in understanding the links among personal dispositions, situational contexts, and potentially supportive transactions.
Current Catalog
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Anatomy of Masochism
Are dominance and submission inevitable in human relationships? Believing that sadomasochism is becoming an ever more obtrusive phenomenon in developed countries, the author surveyed 48 self-declared sadomasochists (43 male, 5 female) and 35 controls (26 male, 9 female) in an effort to elicit information on early family relationships, morale, and sexual behavior and fantasy; she also looks at the philosophy of masochism and its damaging effects.
Introduction to Clinical Psychology
Written by renowned experts in the field,Introduction to Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, by Bruce Compas and Ian Gotlib, provides a comprehensive and engaging overview of clinical psychology. Based on sound empirical research, this text presents a broad range of the theoretical perspectives while integrating special topic areas throughout. Introduced in the first chapter are four detailed case studies that are revisited in subsequent chapters, providing students with a sense of continuity as they explore these cases in the context of assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Students will appreciate the current, real-life examples used to illustrate key concepts.
Behavioral Neurobiology of Depression and Its Treatment
The book highlights important new research using current state-of-the-art approaches by prominent researchers in the field of depression. A broad range of topics is covered, beginning with a description of the phenotypic features of clinical depression, followed by chapters on the cellular and molecular basis, functional neuroimaging correlates and information-processing accounts. Finally, existing and novel treatment approaches are covered. In this way the volume brings together the key disciplines involved in the neurobiological understanding of depression to provide an update of the field and outlook to the future. Together, the volume chapters provide focused and critical reviews that span a broad range of topics suitable for both students and established investigators interested in the present state of depression research.
