With a clear 3-part structure, the book explores the key factors that contribute to psychological disorders in each of three broad age groups; young people, adults, and older adults. It then covers a range of clinical approaches such as behavioural, CBT and humanistic models that are used in clinical practice. Clinical problems that are particularly relevant to each developmental stage, in particular how they present, their aetiology, and how they are treated from both psychological and pharmacological perspectives, are addressed in the final part of the book.
