This thesis by Sabina Brohede addresses Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a psychological condition where individuals perceive defects in their appearance that are not noticeable to others. The research focuses on the prevalence of BDD among Swedish women and female dermatology patients. It highlights the challenges faced by BDD sufferers in accessing appropriate health care, due to lack of awareness among health professionals. The study involved translating and validating a screening questionnaire for BDD and explored the lived experiences of patients through qualitative interviews. The findings suggest a significant prevalence of BDD, particularly among dermatology patients, and underscore the importance of increasing awareness and recognition of BDD in healthcare settings to ensure adequate care.

Accessible and clinically relevant, A Clinician's Guide to Statistics and Epidemiology in Mental Health describes statistical concepts in plain English with minimal mathematical content, making it perfect for the busy health professional. Using clear language in favour of complex terminology, limitations of statistical techniques are emphasized, as well as the importance of interpretation - as opposed to 'number-crunching' - in analysis. Uniquely for a text of this kind, there is extensive coverage of causation and the conceptual, philosophical and political factors involved, with forthright discussion of the pharmaceutical industry's role in psychiatric research. By creating a greater understanding of the world of research, this book empowers health professionals to make their own judgments on which statistics to believe - and why.

Social inequalities are established features of the distribution of physical disease in the UK and many other developed countries. In most physical diseases, a clear trend of poorer health is evident with each step down the hierarchy of social position. By contrast, the nature of the links between social position and mental illness in the general population has appeared less clear. This lack of clarity is problematic, as mental disorders are major causes of disability, especially in adults of working age. Social Inequalities and the Distribution of the Common Mental Disorde
