Mental Epidemics: From Mobbing to Terrorism Handbook focuses on a new research area: mental medicine as a psychiatric paradigm of integrative medicine. The scientific basis of mental medicine is “synergetics”. Synergetics is an interdisciplinary science of development and self-organization, which has allowed the successive and systematical combination of treatment and rehabilitation strategies of nosocentric clinical psychiatry with preventive and correctional methods of health-oriented mental preventology. Mental medicine strengthens mental health and treats mental illnesses. Its mission lies in enabling adaptive engineering and management of mind and health.

This book presents a synergetic biopsychosociospiritual concept of development of mental epidemics – that is, contagious polymodal and polymorphic mental diseases and states. The conceptual provisions of mental health services are proposed, and requirements for mental health system monitoring as an interface of the public conscience are included.

The features of anti-epidemic biopsychosociospiritual care are examined in this book. These features include somatotropic and psychotropic management, psychotherapeutic and sanogenetic management in multidisciplinary teams, as well as social, spiritual, and moral correction and rehabilitation. The principles and techniques of mental preventology are grounded. Mental preventology grows out of a synergetic rendering of mental hygiene and psychoprophylaxis, ethical and psychological support of adaptive professiogenesis and business communication, integration of healthy ways, and the moral meaning of life. The system of biopsychosociospiritual protection of the personality and society is represented by the resources of mental immunity, which is behaviorally embodied in the profile registers of mental resilience.

This book is intended for general practitioners and psychotherapists, psychiatrists and narcologists, clinical psychologists and educators, specialists in social work and bioethics, and churchmen and volunteers. (Imprint: Nova Biomedical)
