Clinical Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Disorders

Two key challenges face mental health practitioners: making the correct psychiatric diagnosis and choosing the most appropriate treatment option.  This book helps with both. Clinical Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental Disorders, 2nd Edition, combines clinically-relevant information about each of the DSM-IV-TR diagnoses with clear, detailed information on treatment options, giving full clinical management advice. Once again, the editors, both leading psychiatrists, have condensed the chapters on Disorders from Tasman et al’s acclaimed two-volume textbook of Psychiatry (now in its Third Edition), retaining only the content they deem particularly relevant to the clinician for ease of use.
