Review: "This revised edition of The Soul in Distress is a reader-friendly overview of the full range of adult psychiatric disorders. Updated with new information on genetics, brain scans, heredity, new medications, and stress, it suggests ways for clergy to assist their congregants suffering from these illnesses and provides ethical guidance and clinical examples that show how physical disease can affect mental health. It also examines new short-term therapies and ways to handle difficult personalities."--BOOK JACKET.
