A comprehensive revision to the foundational textbook on modern psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, keyed to the DSM–5–TR and ICD–11 . Psychiatry stands at a crossroads, balancing heightened societal expectations with pointed criticism. Meeting these challenges requires more than diagnosis―it demands a broader approach. Any clinician who assesses a patient solely through DSM or ICD criteria misunderstands the process. Competent care begins with accurate diagnosis but extends to the patient’s context for an understanding of the biological, psychological, social, spiritual, developmental, and cultural contributors to psychopathology and well-being. Long considered a leading text on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders, this book offers an essential, integrated, and common-sense approach to modern psychiatry. This revision includes timely updates in: Psychopharmacology Psychotherapy Computational neuroscience Functional neuroimaging Geared to graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, counseling and related disciplines, it makes practical, readable sense of psychopathology. It also serves as an indispensable resource for seasoned clinicians. 46 black-and-white illustrations; 4-page color insert; 176 black-and-white tables Read more
