Summary:

This is the third edition of the one-volume, standard, comprehensive text on the treatment of psychiatric disorders -- spanning the biological, psychological, and psychosocial.

Thoroughly updated and revised, this book is the result of several thousand studies, clinical reports, and reference works. Information is specifically coordinated with the DSM-IV, and the authors' discussion reflects what is currently known about virtually all standard treatments, as well as many of the more esoteric therapies.

The authors make clear that this book is not meant to take the place of psychiatric training or consultation; treatment must be tailored, dynamic, flexible, and rooted in knowledge. But with this book, clinical options can be guided and refined.
