Summary:

American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders: Compendium 2004 collects in one place eleven of the American Psychiatric Association's published Practice Guidelines. This compendium, which will be periodically updated as existing guidelines are revised and new guidelines are approved, includes helpful introductory material and a cumulative index. The aim of the American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines is to improve patient care. The Practice Guidelines provide a comprehensive synthesis of available information relevant to the clinical topic. The guidelines are vehicles for educating psychiatrists, other medical and mental health professionals, and the general public about appropriate treatments. The series also identifies areas in which critical information is lacking and in which research could be expected to improve clinical decisions. The Practice Guidelines are also designed to help those charged with overseeing the utilization and reimbursement of psychiatric services to develop more scientifically based and clinically sensitive criteria.
