As a result, most mental health students and trainees are never taught to identify, diagnose, or treat them. This lack of\u003cbr\u003eattention has real-world consequences not only for patients, but for basic science as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnusual and Rare Psychological Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e collects and synthesizes the scientific and clinical literatures for 21 lesser-known conditions. The coverage is broad, ranging from exploding head syndrome and\u003cem\u003e koro\u003c\/em\u003e to body integrity identity disorder and persistent genital arousal disorder. All chapters\u003cbr\u003efollow a uniform structure and introduce each disorder with a vivid clinical vignette. After discussing the historical and cultural contexts for the disorder, authors describe the typical symptoms, associated features, current role in diagnostic systems (if any), and etiologies. Clinically\u003cbr\u003erelevant information on assessment and differential diagnosis is also provided. Finally, authors review the treatment options and suggest future directions for research. This unique and engaging volume will not only be a useful resource for researchers and clinicians who already possess expertise\u003cbr\u003ein the more well-known manifestations of psychopathology, but it will also be of interest to students and trainees in the mental health professions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian A.
