Modern Psychopathologies: A Comprehensive Christian Appraisal

This is one of those "must have book" if your studying Psychopathologies.

A Book I will use later in my practice

This book goes a little further than the DSM IV. It gives you the perspective of why these disorders exist. The DSM has now become a politically correct text to appease the HMO's and others who refuse to take a stand to help people manage and live wholesome productive lives living with these disorders. The authors take you a step further with the integration of biblical principles into psychotherapy. Mark this book up and use it to the max.

Modern Psychopathologies is addressed to students and mental health professionals who want to sort through contemporary secular understandings of psychopathology in relation to a Christian worldview. Written by well-known and respected scholars, the book, in nine core chapters, provides an introduction to a set of disorders along with overviews of current research on etiology, treatment and prevention. Prior chapters give a context for the integration of Christianity and the scientific study of psychopathology, and articulate integrative themes discussed throughout the book, providing a foundation for the concluding vision for Christian health professionals and the church. This is a unique and valuable resource for Christians studying psychology and counseling, or providing counseling services, pastoral care, Christian healing ministries or spiritual direction. Though fully capable of standing on its own, it is also a useful companion volume to Modern Psychotherapies by Stanton L. Jones and Richard E. Butman.
