Description

Over eight million adult Americans suffer from serious psychological distress. That’s 3.4 percent of the U.S. population. Perhaps you know one of them. Perhaps you are one of them. If you have symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypomania, PTSD, etc., or caring for a close one with psychosis, there’s no doubt that professional help is a large part of the solution. It’s also possible you have tapped into numerous self-help books with various theories and strategies about what you are feeling and facing, and how to cope.

There’s another book you likely haven’t heard of that can supplement, or even serve as the basis for, learning about and treating these conditions and many more. Referred to as “A reference psychophysics treatise of human mentation and its disorders,” this book is entitled Functional Architecture of the Human Mental, and for its quality as a monograph and a reference tome it sits in the Health Sciences collections at Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Cornell, Universite de Paris, Universite de Montreal, Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine, and many other worldwide renown universities and institutions.

Sounds like a mouthful? — because it is! The consummate reference volume dissecting and extolling for the first time the etiology of every divergent human mental condition and which emerges from the normed root partitions of mentation — also a current and comprehensive critical resource for clinical practice, mental health patient support and advocacy.

The authors explain that this massive work exposes several decades of mathematical-physics research in human emotions, cognition, behavior, personality and psychiatric diagnostic entities. In essence, it provides a new understanding of the human mind from an exacting psychophysics vantage. Co-author Joseph J. Jean-Claude explains that ‘It is psychology and psychiatry from an exacting psychophysics approach in order to infuse mathematical-physics in the sciences of Mind and finally make them as solid as the core sciences.’ Says co-author Dr. Caroline Stamu-O’Brien, “This book offers a completely new angle on mental disorders while at the same time complementing the well-known Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders (DSM-5).”

A must have for everyone involved in Mental Health science and medicine.
