Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health

Edited by Marissa S. Edwards, Angela J. Martin, Neal M. Ashkanasy and Lauren E. Cox

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: There has been much recent commentary regarding a ‘crisis’ in academic mental health and wellbeing. This Research Handbook showcases cutting-edge studies and insightful narratives on the wellbeing of doctoral students, early career researchers, and faculty members, illuminating the current state of academic mental health research. Importantly, authors also offer potential solutions to the increasingly poor mental health reported by those working and studying in the higher education sector.
