"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

The most up-to-date coverage on adult psychopathology

Adult Psychopathology and Diagnosis, Fifth Editionoffers comprehensive coverage of the major psychological disorders and presents a balanced integration of empirical data and diagnostic criteria to demonstrate the basis for individual diagnoses. The accessible format and case study approach provide the opportunity to understand how diagnoses are reached.

Updated to reflect the rapid developments in the field of psychopathology, this Fifth Edition encompasses the most current research in the field including:

  • A thorough introduction to the principles of the DSM-IV-TR classification system and its application in clinical practice
  • The biological and neurological foundations of disorders and the implications of psychopharmacology in treatment
  • Illustrative case material as well as clinical discussions addressing specific disorders, diagnostic criteria, major theories of etiology, and issues of assessment and measurement
  • Coverage of the major diagnostic entities and problems seen in daily clinical work by those in hospitals, clinics, and private practice
  • A new chapter on race and ethnicity by renowned expert Stanley Sue

Book News Annotation:

This update of the 2003 edition, incorporating new data and greater emphasis on the cross-cultural impacts of race and ethnicity, begins by pointing out paradoxical statements of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV regarding the boundaries between mental disorders and normal functioning. Hersen (psychology, Pacific U., Forest Grove, Oregon) and international contributors to 17 chapters overview such theoretical and assessment issues in the field as dual diagnosis and the advantages and disadvantages of structured and semi-structured interviews. They then focus on the epidemiology, etiology, assessment, and treatment of specific disorders including ones of cognition, substance abuse, mood, sex and gender identity, eating, sleep, personality, and schizophrenia. Chapters include case studies. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review:

"Editor Hersen (psychology, Pacific Univ.; Psychological Assessment) began this revision shortly before the death of fourth-edition author/editor Samuel M. Turner (psychology, Univ. of Maryland; Diagnostic Interviewing); colleague Deborah C. Beidel (psychiatry, Penn State Coll. of Medicine; Shy Children) joined the project afterward. Comprising 17 expanded chapters and one new one (on race and ethnicity), it uses the nomenclature of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV throughout and includes the field's most current research. Following nine field specialists' theories on classifications, diagnoses, the interviewing process, and relevant racial, ethnic, and genetic concerns, 13 chapters explain recognized clinical disorders, their distinct neural pathology, associated case studies, related epidemiology, and suggested treatments. Written specifically for field specialists, this edition will prove vital to psychological and psychiatric medical collections." (Library Journal, July 15, 2007)
