Summary:

This book offers a holistic, integrative, resource oriented, and preventive perspective on psychotherapy, psychiatry, and psychology. There is great urgency in developing resources and potential in our patients, not only in freeing them from their disorders. Pandemics, wars, international terrorism, climate catastrophes, escalating nationalism in numerous countries, economic crises, a pervasive distrust of governments, institutions, and even fellow citizens, along with a surge in addictive behavior towards social media, just to name a few major factors, have contributed to a notable increase in mental disorders, the prescription of psychotropic drugs, suicidality, loneliness, and depression. The fully revised and expanded second edition brings together 76 authors from 19 countries and 5 continents, who collectively share their experiences in the clinical application of positive mental health across more than 55 chapters. Twenty-two new chapters have been added, addressing emerging topics and contemporary issues. These include insights into practicing psychotherapy in Ukraine and Ethiopia, countries deeply affected by wars; multiple chapters dedicated to trauma; the Chinese perspective on navigating the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects; understanding the LGBTQ+ community; the experience of online therapy since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic; and exploration of disorders such as autism, chronic pain, death and grieving, and suicide. All authors are practicing psychotherapists in their respective countries, providing firsthand accounts from their daily experiences. Additionally, all 34 chapters from the first edition have been thoroughly updated to ensure the content remains current and relevant. It remains the only international textbook which brings together positive psychiatry, positive psychotherapy, and positive psychology. Positive Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychology: Clinical Applications for Positive Mental Health will be of interest to psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals. It may be used in educating a new generation of mental health professionals in these tenets that are expanding the reach of psychology, the practice of psychotherapy, and the scope of psychiatry.
