It is remarkably thorough without being overwhelming. The information is readily accessible and is useful for clinicians who are referring to it briefly, or opening it to brush up on the literature in a given area. But this book's main strength is that the authors also are using an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy for many major psychiatric conditions, an area many clinicians unfortunately neglect in their treatment recommendations. This is a worthy effort and one book likely to be used over and over, not accumulating dust on a shelf. Steven T. Herron, MD (Assurance Health and Wellness); Doodys Notes In this book, you will find detailed research and experience-based information on pharmacological and psychological treatments, that work on a long list of disorders relating to human thought and action.
