It argues that such practices have led to an over-diagnosis of conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and autism. It examines the over-treatment of psychiatric disorders with pharmaceuticals, and asks if neuroscience will actually hold the answers to the biggest questions in the field. Thoroughly updated in light of new research, this new edition addresses some of the more recent developments in psychiatry, including behavioural genetics, genome-wide association studies, and brain imaging. It looks at new advances in psychotherapies and argues for a broad biopsychosocial model. The book will inform psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, other mental health professionals, and medical students of the limits of mental health practice and the importance of adopting cautious conservatism and the principles of evidence-based practice.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295373439349,"sku":"9781009245739","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781009245739_41acc9d1-2e48-4cbe-8877-c0dfda56b28f.jpg?v=1786017014"},{"product_id":"9781032335063","title":"Half in Love with Death","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eHalf in Love with Death\u003c\/i\u003e gives therapists new tools to help manage chronically suicidal patients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295906214261,"sku":"9781032335063","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032335063_ef6d0950-483f-4f0f-814d-7d597992d5a5.jpg?v=1786017156"},{"product_id":"9781462541935","title":"Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder","description":"\u003cb\u003eAcclaimed for its wisdom and no-nonsense style, this authoritative guide has now been revised and expanded with 50% new content reflecting a decade of advances in the field.\u003c\/b\u003e Distinguished psychiatrist Joel Paris distills current knowledge about borderline personality disorder (BPD) and reviews what works in diagnosis and treatment.
