Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Psychology - Clinic and Health Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, , language: English, abstract: The scope of this book is to provide a clear account of clinical psychology and in doing so to critically analyse how our mind is being subjected to external forces by illuminating examples from fieldwork in Sweden, China, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and the Philippines. The book also provides a vibrant insight into humanistic psychology and this disposition is more in tune with postmodern philosophical disposition that is calling for deconstructing some of the existing knowledge to bring forth a new awareness that is conducive to present day realities. It also suggests alternative ways in which clinical psychology can improve when treating people with psychological setbacks. The writing can work as a handbook for: students, researchers and teachers as well as doctors who treat mental illnesses. Not the least this book also gives school psychologists, and educators who work in a plural and multicultural milieu a valuable insight. Not only can this book also serve special teachers who work with children with different needs with valuable psychological hints to develop a better cognitive-social-emotional teacher-pupil relationship. To expand psychology by bringing knowledge from various disciplines such as pedagogy, sociology, culture, political economy, human geography and the field of neuroscience will certainly be a valuable project worth pursuing and that explains the rationale of writing a scholarship of this kind. This interdisciplinary academic background that I gained throughout my academic years was the stepping-stone towards that direction; that is to analyse the present day clinical practices using a multidisciplinary approach.

Dr Nilani Ljunggren De Silva is a renowned scholar affiliated to Stockholm University. Her published work were cited often and are positively contributed to the academia as well as helped the general public understand many burning issues in our society She holds a PhD Degree in Social Psychology. She is a director of the DevExp Group and a successful entrepreneur.
