Beyond DSM: Casebook in Abnormal Psychology and Mental Health offers a lens of understanding psychological disorders that is both scientific and sensitive to our Philippine context. Specifically, this first edition addresses the gap in our current roster of learning resources in Abnormal Psychology by bringing the narratives of real Filipinos living with mental health issues to the fore. Additionally, up-to-date research findings from local literature were synthesized alongside existing bio-psycho-social models for each condition, in order to provide a contextualized understanding of mental health.
