1) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. This book was a good reading but I wish it would have been more detailed specific to mental health assessments. It shared what most of us have learned in undergraduate. I was hoping it would be more advanced in the mental heath assessment field. For those who are starting out in the mental health arena, its a good starter book.¤

2) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. This book meets the stated need of describeing in language that the layman can understand of what mental illness is, briefly describeing, again in the termenology that most can understand, the various types of mental illnesses, where to go for treatment and also what to expect from treatment. If a very detailed book is needed that might be more in line for a professional, look elsewhere. However, this will more than meet the needs of the average person with mental problems or family member of someone with a mental illness and get them going on the right path. The path can be lonely and sometimes family members don´t understand or they "think" that they understand and they really don´t (makeing the life of both the one who is ill and the life or lives of the family member(s) a living hell). Thus, the one with the mental illness and all family members should read this. Highly recommended!¤

3) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. This book may well be great for its intended purpose. It could assist adults understand mental health symptoms, learn about effective treatments, find a therapist, and get an idea of what to expect from therapy. However, this book is not a comprehensive, authoritative guide to mental health. It contains only minimal information and I have difficulty imagining that it would be of help to graduate students, much less mental health practitioners. There is little, if any, information regarding childhood mental health issues.¤

4) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. If ever there was a book to help someone understand the world of psychotherapy, "Getting Help" is a must. This book will help inform you how and when to get the assistance you need. If you are about to embark in getting psychotherapy, the chapter that describes the differing theories is informative and will guide you to make an educated decision. Friends have asked for a book that will help them know what to expect out of therapy and "Getting Help" is the only book I recommend.¤

5) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. I am a licensed social worker, and own many DSM-IV books "left over" from grad school. I continue to look for books that will help me in my profession, and with the purchase of this book my search is over. It is written for everyone not only mental health professions, but mental health professionals will find it concise, easy to understand and most helpful with making a diagnosis and assisting their clients. I highly recommed it!!!!¤

6) Paperback Book Getting Help: The Complete & Authoritative Guide to Self-Assessment And Treatment of Mental Health Problems by New Harbinger Publications. The majority of Americans struggling with mental health problems get inadequate mental health care. Many get none at all. Current trends in managed health care account for some of this shortfall, but research suggests that many Americans simply don’t understand the psychotherapeutic treatment options available to them. And who can blame them? It’s hard to keep track of diagnoses, practitioners, and therapies without some source for guidance and reliable information—the kind of information and advice you’ll find in this timely and much-anticipated guide.

This book sets out everything you need to know about mental health care in a clear, concise, and readable format. It includes a diagnostic process to identify major mental health problems, free from the complicated technical language that many other diagnostic manuals employ. The book offers detailed descriptions of the various kinds of mental health practitioners and what kinds of services they provide. It also details all of the commonly practiced psychotherapeutic methods, how they work, and what problems they are most likely to help. Equipped with this resource, you’ll be in a powerful position to take control of your own mental health care and make important positive changes in your life.¤
