This easy-to-read book is spiced with pertinent clinical vignettes and flow charts. The book provides a series of diagnostic algorithms that nicely complement the treatment algorithms increasingly being used in clinical practice. After all, treatment algorithms are of little use if the diagnosis is incorrect. Students and residents will find this a most helpful contribution, and experienced clinicians also will have much to gain.' - David L. Dunner, MD, Center for Anxiety and Depression and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, USA 'Dr. Morrison's extensive clinical experience shines through in this well-written, accessible guide to the complexities of mental health diagnosis. The book is brought to life with numerous clinical case examples, providing students and clinicians with rich illustrations of how diagnostic principles can be applied across a wide range of presentations. This text is particularly well suited for courses in clinical assessment and interviewing, though seasoned practitioners will also find it useful for sharpening their skills.' - Martin M. Antony, PhD, Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Anxiety Treatment and Research Centre, St. Joseph's Healthcare, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 'This excellent volume is a very practical, well-organized, and elegant guide to the diagnosis of mental disorders.

This volume will be highly appreciated by medical students, psychiatry residents, psychology interns, and their teachers. It is a terrific teaching text.' - Richard Balon, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Wayne State University School of Medicine, USA 'This book presents a clear, easy to follow framework for understanding the process of diagnosis.' - Carolyn A.
