Features: Nowadays, mental health is increasingly highlighting its value—children, women, adults, and the elderly all benefit and pay attention. So, what is mental health, what aspects does it involve, and how should we put it into practice? This encyclopedia, spanning millions of words, aims to answer and explore these questions. The original English version features a strong author team, considered world-class. Professor Fred, a renowned psychologist from the University of California, USA, served as the editor-in-chief. He was awarded the "Outstanding Contribution Award in Health Psychology" by the United States for his remarkable achievements in the field of health psychology. Over 300 prominent experts from around the world contributed to the book, including Albert Bandura, the advocate of "Social Learning Theory," Stuart, the proponent of "Constructivist Psychotherapy," Buckley, the founder of "Psychoneuroimmunology," Milon, the developer of the "PersonalityOptimal Development Model," and Diener, the representative figure of the "Subjective Happiness" concept, among others, which greatly enhanced the book's quality.
One of the unique aspects of the Encyclopedia of Mental Health is that it goes beyond the scope of general pathology and is particularly dedicated to emphasizing all aspects that constitute mental health. We pay special attention to the "health" part of "mental health." Whenever possible, the text explicitly conveys the intention to promote mental health. Of course, we also recognize that it is not always effective to comprehensively summarize mental health from a modern perspective.
The Encyclopedia of Mental Health is designed for a broad audience across various sectors, including: college students, students studying health-related fields, writers and journalists engaged in public education, all professionals and lawyers, social workers, and all researchers. Educators can study relevant topics of interest in a concise format. The book emphasizes clarity, readability, and accessibility.
