This is the third edition of the widely acclaimed, comprehensive volume on the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Greatly expanded & revised, this new edition provides clinicians with a highly practical, current guide to a broad range of treatment approaches for virtually every psychiatric disorder. Where appropriate, the text integrates the various facets of biological, psychological, family, social, & educational interventions that are useful in patient management. Like the two preceding books, this edition is organized for both practicality & accessibility. For each diagnostic category, pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, educational, & other interventions for emergency, acute, & chronic presentations are described, limitations & contraindications discussed, prognosis indicated, & specific treatment recommendations presented. Information is specifically coordinated with the DSM-IV, & the authors' discussion reflects what is currently known about virtually all standard treatments, as well as many of the more esoteric therapies.
