In this ground-breaking book, Peter Kinderman, presents a simple, but radical new model of mental well-being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished following the publication of the new edition of the controversial, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the author challenges notions such as 'mental illness' and 'abnormal psychology' as old-fashioned, demeaning and invalid, and argues that diagnoses such as 'depression' and 'schizophrenia' are unhelpful. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKinderman argues that one consequence of our current obsession with a medical approach to human well-being and distress, is that human problems are too often merely diagnosed and treated, rather than understood. Written by an expert in his field, and accessible to all those interested in and affected by mental health issues, \u003ci\u003eThe New Laws of Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way we define mental illness forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kinderman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780336004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780336008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Constable \u0026amp; Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Peter Kinderman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088763203839,"sku":"9781780336008","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_052bd557-4cf1-497c-8135-416ab1e31d8f.jpg?v=1769106482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-laws-of-psychology-peter-kinderman-9781780336008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
