Title: Destructive trends in mental health
Description: "Destructive Trends in Mental Health presents compelling arguments for a re-evaluation of the practices and policies of professional organizations in the mental health fields, the needs of the public they ultimately serve, and how practitioners deliver care to their patients. Wright and Cummings demonstrate that unless steps are taken to reverse these destructive trends, the mental health professions will suffer fatal blows to their credibility and, in the long term, their economic viability.

An eye-opening read from cover to cover, the information contained in this volume will undoubtedly challenge your views of the APA and the field of professional psychology, but also more generally your faith in health care systems and the purity of scientific inquiry."--BOOK JACKET.
