More About This Title Mental Health Care in the College Community
English
This book fills an important gap in the literature and provides a comprehensive resource for nearly every aspect of college mental health. It includes a strong emphasis on the training and education of graduate and professional students for future work in this field. Chapters are devoted to the significant ethical and legal issues related to treatment and associated administrative and policy challenges. Scholarly chapters on the promise of community mental health and public health approaches are especially innovative. There is also a chapter on international issues in college mental health which will be helpful to those students studying abroad. Mental Health Care in the College Community is written by acknowledged experts from mental health, college and university administration, legal and educational disciplines, all with extensive administrative and clinical experience in higher education settings. This book is clearly written and well illustrated with abundant tables, charts, and figures.
This text will become essential reading for college mental health clinicians, graduate students in the mental health disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, counselling, nursing, and social work), student affairs deans and their staff, and even presidents or provosts of universities and colleges.

"I read this text with the same mantra running through my mind: “This book IS good for me, despite my reaction to its psychiatric lens.” Indeed, this book is very, very good. There is a tremendous amount of information culled from a variety of sources (bear in mind that articles in this field are published in many different journals), and this information is seasoned well with the authors’ clinical and administrative experiences ... offers a smorgasbord of pertinent, informed, and thoughtful chapters on working in the college setting." (Journalof College Student Psychotherapy, 2011)

"For readers unfamiliar with mental health care at higher education institutions, the book is an effective guide to better understanding how counselling services are provided in these settings. The book may also serve as a textbook in graduate counseling and higher education courses that examine the delivery of counselling services at various colleges and universities" (Community College Review, November 2011)
