This work stems from an integrative vision that sees psychological disorders as incomprehensible through a single-cause model. Instead, it requires a multidimensional approach encompassing biological, psychological, behavioral, cognitive, and sociocultural factors. The book relies on the latest internationally recognized classifications, primarily the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), and includes real-life case studies that highlight the complex interaction between causative factors, diagnostic features, and therapeutic responses.
The book's content is divided into eleven chapters, beginning with a foundational introduction to psychopathology that covers basic concepts, the history of studying mental disorders, theoretical models, research methods, and clinical measurement. It then moves to a detailed presentation of the most common disorders, such as mood, anxiety, trauma, dissociative, obsessive-compulsive, eating, addiction, psychotic, and personality disorders. Each chapter concludes with an analytical case study, which helps solidify the reader's practical understanding and connects theory with practice.
This book targets multiple audiences interested in the psychological field, from psychology students and researchers in mental disorders to specialists and psychotherapists seeking to develop their clinical practices according to the latest standards. It also serves as an important reference for translators and those interested in the Arabization of psychological literature, due to its culturally adaptable conceptual models and multiple therapeutic approaches that can be aligned with local contexts.
This work not only aims to provide knowledge but also seeks to build professional psychological awareness that contributes to the development of psychological practice in the Arab world and enhances the quality of psychological services provided to individuals and communities. It also opens the door for more comparative studies and continuous development in measurement tools and intervention methods, keeping pace with the rapid psychological and social changes in our contemporary world.
