| Summary: | "Welcome to Volume 4 of the five-volume APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology, dedicated to psychopathology and health. Epidemiological studies tell us that close to half of U.S. citizens will have a mental disorder at some point in their lifetime. Therefore, either you or someone you know has likely been touched by psychopathology. Perhaps even more will work to promote their health and improve their coping skills. We live in an amazing age in which the Internet enables access to information more easily and quickly than ever before. Individuals who want to learn about psychopathology and health can type those words into their favorite search engine and instantly receive more information than they could ever digest. The new challenge of our age is sifting through this deluge of information to identify valid, trustworthy, and authoritative sources of knowledge. The editorial team has worked hard to establish the APA Handbook of Clinical Psychology as such a source. I hope that this handbook provides you with the most up-to-date knowledge about not only psychopathology but also psychological health. Each chapter in the handbook has been carefully scrutinized by the editors, who have decades of experience and expertise in organizing overviews of the psychological literature for general consumption. In developing the handbook, our goal and commitment has been to render an accurate yet accessible resource for libraries, students, professors, fellow psychologists, and others looking for a balance of depth and breadth"--Introduction.
