Seminars in Psychology and the Social Sciences

Part of the College Seminars Series.A book about basic science for the clinical scientist psychiatrists, clinical psychology students, general practitioners, community psychiatric nurses and social workers. Each chapter comprehensively reviews the current state of one aspect of the basic science as it relates to mental health. Links between clinical practice and some of the most recent theories considered in this book have yet to be made. However, over the next decade many of these are likely to dominate the research and service agenda, such as ethnicity as a determinant of health care, connectionist models of mental functioning, and the effects of sex and gender on mental health. For those looking for new paradigms in the social sciences, the book will prove an essential source.
