Editorial Reviews

Review

This criticaly important book has been extensively revised, expanded and updated. It includes information from DSM-IV, with many of the same editors and contributors as the DSM-IV Task Force. This edition contains two appendixes: the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV and a selection of terms from the Seventh Edition of the American Psychiatric Glossary. The American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Psychiatry is the first to include these criteria and definitions, and it is the only textbook to include an extensive listing from the Glossary. Seven new chapters have been added to reflect the dynamic and changing field of psychiatry: Psychological factors affecting medical conditions; Fictitious disorders and malingering; Pain disorders; Brief psychodynamic psychotherapy; Cognitive therapy; Women and psychatiary; and Psychiatric education. -- Midwest Book Review
