Synopsis

Gray's PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, 5e, offers a compelling look at the current state of knowledge about mental disorders from a social work perspective. The author’s accessible narrative includes detailed, realistic vignettes of situations social workers commonly encounter in clinical practice, and offers strategies for building on clients' strengths, resilience and insights about social workers' roles in working with the mentally ill. Part of the Cengage Empowerment Series, the up-to-date 5th edition summarizes the current state of knowledge about mental disorders, including a thorough integration of the DSM-5-TR. It also integrates the core competencies and recommended practice behaviors outlined in the 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
