This text is of notable high quality regarding topic breadth and chapter brevity for a multidisciplinary understanding of student athlete mental health. It will be highly useful as, to my knowledge, there exist no comparable texts for clinician reference on the topic of mental health in the athlete that are not specific to a sports psychology professional."
