What's great about this book is that it really hits all the major issues with regard to college mental health and the college environment. Useful for counseling center staff as well as university presidents and senior administration.

With the growing concern about mental health problems on campus and their tragic manifestations--alcohol and drug abuse, suicide, and violence among them--this is an extremely timely book. The editors have pulled together experts on college mental health to offer a comprehensive overview of the issues and how they can be addressed.

An insightful and comprehensive look at the alarming statistics related to mental health on college campuses today. Thought provoking information regarding the numbers of students matriculating onto campuses, many of whom have already been diagnosed with mental illness, and many who will face new problems associated with date rape, depression, binge drinking, eating disorders, suicidal ideation and adjustment disorders as they develop in their years on campus.
