Countless studies have established a clear link between what we eat and our physical health. Increasing evidence shows that nutrition also plays a crucial role in mental health outcomes. The complexities of causality and the underlying biological mechanisms are still being unraveled; meanwhile, it is essential that today's mental health professionals be equipped to provide their clients with informed guidance on nutrition, counsel clients on ways that diet can optimize mental health, and recognize when to make referrals to registered dietitians or lifestyle medicine specialists. Food, Nutrition, and Mental Health delves into the vital intersection of these key areas, providing a much-needed overview of the relevant topics.

With an estimated 3.3 billion gamers globally and an industry valued at nearly $300 billion, video games represent the fastest-growing form of entertainment—outpacing traditional sports, music, and movies combined. Although gaming can foster community and personal enrichment, it also carries the risk of internet gaming disorder (IGD), a behavioral addiction marked by impaired control over gaming, prioritization of gaming over other activities, and continued play despite negative consequences. Internet Gaming Disorder: A Clinical Strategy Guide for Providers, Parents, and Players is the first and most comprehensive interdisciplinary resource on the diagnosis, treatment, and cultural context of IGD. Written by psychiatrists with expertise spanning child and adolescent, addiction, forensic, and geriatric psychiatry, this volume offers a holistic view of the benefits and problems associated with gaming.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in the Context of Comorbid Mental Health Conditions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in the Context of Comorbid Mental Health Conditions, 1e

Goldstein-Piekarski
APA
456 pages
ISBN: 9798894551524
December 2025

An estimated 6%–10% of the U.S. population meets the criteria for insomnia disorder—a figure that is even higher among individuals experiencing psychiatric conditions. Evidence suggests that although experiencing sleep difficulties is a diagnostic criterion in several psychiatric conditions and is experienced in the context of some medical disorders, insomnia is a distinct disorder, intricately interwoven with co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions. This insightful new book explores Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in a manner relevant to patients seen by mental health clinicians. CBT-I is an effective nonpharmacological treatment approach grounded in the sciences of sleep and behavior change. The volume's distinguished contributors carefully consider the components of CBT-I and provide guidance on customizing treatment for patients with and without co-occurring psychiatric conditions.
Manual of Undergraduate Psychiatric Education

Manual of Undergraduate Psychiatric Education, 1e

ISBN: 9798894551142
December 2025

As our understanding of mental disorders and their pathophysiology has advanced over the last few decades, and with the advent of innovative biological treatments, psychiatry has become increasingly rooted in medicine, drawing from both neurology and neuroscience. The teaching of psychiatry has also shifted from abstract, theory-heavy content to competency-based, practical training. It remains essential to teach psychiatry as an integrated discipline, considering factors such as globalization, diversity and inclusion, patient agency and autonomy, and the relationship between lifestyle and mental health. That is where the Manual of Undergraduate Psychiatric Education comes in. Written by and for educators, it provides comprehensive, practical guidance to develop effective teaching skills in psychiatric education. Organized in three parts, it covers general topics, including curriculum development, assessment, and feedback; practical aspects of teaching, from presentation techniques and simulation to remote learning; and specialized themes that include leadership and career pathways, research education, and ethico-legal concerns.
