This monograph includes seven chapters that detail recent advances in psychology research. Chapter One provides practical cognitive-behavioral treatment recommendations to address typical issues associated with depression and anxiety in pediatric patients with asthma, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and headache pain. Chapter Two argues that community level screening, timely diagnosis and integrated traditional medicine and traditional healing practices rooted in a given cultural and religious context are essential for the treatment of schizophrenia. Chapter Three explores psychological theories, diagnostic instruments, assessment tools, and management strategies for factitious disorder and borderline personality disorder. Chapter Four presents a study of the impact of academic stressors on the health of students in the health field. Chapter Five reviews the literature on general mental health stigma, discusses borderline personality disorder and the specific stigma related to it, reviews potential steps to reduce stigma, and suggests future directions for research and clinical intervention. Chapter Six reviews the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy for heart failure patients with depression. Lastly, Chapter Seven provides an overview of the potential role of psychologists in requests for voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide.
