The first book of its kind to offer a transdisciplinary exploration of mass communication approaches to mental health

In the Handbook of Mental Health Communication, a panel of leading scholars from multiple disciplines presents a comprehensive overview of theory and research at the intersection of mass communication and mental health. With timely and authoritative coverage of the impact of message-based mental health promotion, this unique volume places mental health communication in the context of socio-cultural causes of mental illness - synthesizing public health, psychopathology, and mass communication scholarship into a single volume.

Throughout the Handbook, nearly one hundred contributing authors emphasize that understanding communication effects on mental health outcomes begins with recognizing how people across the spectrum of mental illness process relevant information about their own mental health. Fully integrated chapters collectively translate biased information attention, interpretation, and memory in mental health illness to real-world implications of mental illness symptomatology and across the spectrum of mental health issues and disorders.

Providing a clear, evidence-based picture of what mental health promotion should look like, The Handbook of Mental Health Communication is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, lecturers, and all health communication practitioners.
