Mental Health Care in the College Community

Mental health concerns are the most serious and prevalent health
problems among students in higher education. Increasingly effective
psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments have
facilitated matriculation for students with histories of anxiety,
mood, personality, eating and substance abuse disorders. This
phenomenon has been accompanied by a striking increase in the
number of previously undiagnosed students requesting treatment.
College and university mental health programs struggle to care for
larger numbers of students, necessitating greater interdisciplinary
collaboration in treatment, research, outreach, and educational
services.

This book fills an important gap in the literature and provides
a comprehensive resource for nearly every aspect of college mental
health. It includes a strong emphasis on the training and education
of graduate and professional students for future work in this
field. Chapters are devoted to the significant ethical and legal
issues related to treatment and associated administrative and
policy challenges. Scholarly chapters on the promise of community
mental health and public health approaches are especially
innovative. There is also a chapter on international issues in
college mental health which will be helpful to those students
studying abroad. Mental Health Care in the College Community
is written by acknowledged experts from mental health, college and
university administration, legal and educational disciplines, all
with extensive administrative and clinical experience in higher
education settings. This book is clearly written and well
illustrated with abundant tables, charts, and figures.

This text will become essential reading for college mental
health clinicians, graduate students in the mental health
disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, counselling, nursing, and
social work), student affairs deans and their staff, and even
presidents or provosts of universities and colleges.
