Description

This 6th edition book offers a clear and entertaining exploration of various models of mental illness. Peter Tyrer presents four main approaches - disease, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and social - in an accessible way, before subjecting them to a critical analysis.

Through a combination of critique and pragmatism, Tyrer reconstructs these models into a single, universal "conjugal" model. This approach is particularly relevant at a time when new community mental health models are being developed globally, making it an essential read for anyone working in the field or using services.

With its clear language and sharp insights, this book provides a valuable perspective on mental illness and its treatment. It is a worthwhile read for professionals and individuals seeking to understand the complexities of mental health.
