X-Force Volume 1: New Beginning Tpb by Peter Milligan

A unique guide to adolescent psychopathology, using a developmental approach

Treating Adolescents is a comprehensive guide to adolescent mental health care, synthesizing evidence-based practice and practice-based perspectives to give providers the best advice available. By limiting the discussion to disorders which appear during adolescence, this useful manual can delve more deeply into each to present extensive evidence and practice-based rationales for approaching a range of psychopathologies. This edition has been revised to reflect the changes in the DSM-5 and the ICD-10, with entirely new chapters on ADHD, learning and executive function, bipolar and mood disorders, sleep disorders, and suicide and self-injury. Coverage includes non-therapy interventions, such as pharmacological and environmental. The discussion of schizophrenia and psychotic disorders includes adolescent presentations of Pervasive Developmental Disorders and their relationship to classical schizophrenia.

In a developmental approach to adolescent psychopathology, different treatments are carefully integrated and matched to pathogenic processes in an effort to disrupt causal loops. This book provides in-depth guidance for providers seeking well-rounded treatment plans, with detailed explanations and expert insight.

• Understand disruptive behaviors and ADHD more deeply
• Treat anxiety, depression, and mood disorders more effectively
• Handle psychiatric traumas and related psychopathologies
• Delve into substance abuse, self-harm, eating disorders, and more

Current scholarship favors developmental approaches to psychopathology and supports an emphasis on integrated treatment packages, including environmental, biologic, and psychological interventions. With full integration of practice and research, Treating Adolescents is a comprehensive reference for constructing a complete treatment strategy.

Milligan, Peter: - One-time Entertainment weekly's man of the year Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of what comic books could do. The hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man paradig, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS etc) as the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page.

Milligan was the longest-running writer of the cult horror comic Hellblazer, and his take on Human Target inspired the TV series. More recent work includes the critical and fan hit Britannia, about an atheistic Ancient Roman detective, as well as the surreal KID LOBOTOMY for IDW, while the Discipline is a highly controversial sexually-charged tale published by Image.

Milligan has written several screenplays, two of which have been made. PILGRIM starring Ray Liotta and Armin Mueller-Stahl and the AN ANGEL FOR MAY, starring Tom Wilkinson and Geraldine James, which won eleven first prizes from festival around the world, was nominated for an International Emmy, and was chosen as one of the Outstanding British Films of the Year at the Dinard Festival du Film Britannique.

Milligan is currently working on other film, comic and non-comic book projects.
