Description:
Addressing the college mental health crisis in a comprehensive, data-driven way, Jeffrey A. Hayes explores theories of college student development and common psychological problems among college students and important aspects of college student well-being, and how we might more effectively work with our students and those who support them.
Review Quotes: Drawing on recent mental health data collected from over two million college students, as well as decades of well-established scholarship in diverse disciplines, Dr. Hayes deepens our understanding of college student mental health, the well-documented increase in psychological distress on our campuses, and factors associated with both distress and well-being. The author is widely published in the field of mental health and psychotherapy, and has taught and provided psychotherapy to adults and college students for over 30 years. This book will benefit faculty members, college mental health clinicians, supervisors, trainees and student affairs professionals who seek to understand and meet the needs of a diverse college student population navigating an increasingly complex world.--Juan R.
