Clinical Psychology, as a predominantly applied branch of Psychology, is directly related to clinical and therapeutic practice. The book Case Studies in Clinical Psychology is a collection of case studies that illustrates the scope and diversity of contemporary clinical psychology practice, providing material for discussion for students of Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Psychopathology, as well as mental health professionals.
It consists of nine chapters, each describing a mental disorder, its assessment, and how it is addressed. A range of therapeutic approaches is also presented, depending on the type of mental difficulties and the specialization of each psychologist.
In each chapter, the history, case formulation, possible etiology (biological, psychological, social), and the therapeutic approach followed are presented. At the end, questions for reflection and discussion are posed.
This book aims to help fill the gap concerning case studies in Clinical Psychology, which have primarily been articulated in the Greek language and largely in the Greek context.
In our opinion, the variety of approaches highlights the range and richness of Clinical Psychology, which is a dynamic and ever-evolving field.
