The writings reprinted here explore the notion that illness is a complicated integration of the individual, the community and environmental considerations, and that any treatment should be administered accordingly. The important volume on Social Origins of Depression, by Brown and Harris, interprets the significance of social class differences and the role that stress plays in all forms of physical and psychiatric disorders. Other works, such as that of leading authority Michael Balint, explore instrumental ways in which professionals can incorporate a range of psychological considerations into their treatment of mental and physical illnesses.

Approach to Community Mental Health

Grune & S

A valuable book for all who are involved in applications of psychology in community settings! The highly acclaimed authors of this volume provide a comprehensive and systematic presentation of the theory and practice of community mental health consultation and population-oriented psychiatry. The text outlines recent concepts of collaboration through which mental health specialists develop fruitful partnerships with professional colleagues in a number of health, education, welfare, and religious organizations. In addition to presenting a lucid description of the evolution, development, and current status of the Caplans' pioneering techniques, many of which have become standard practice in the mental health disciplines, the book clearly articulates the fundamental theoretical principles on which these techniques are based.
