Riassunto

Beginning with an overview, this volume discusses such issues as dimensional versus categorical classification, structured interviewing, and possible genetic influences on psychopathology. The next section, on specific disorders, contains a separate chapter on every major psychopathological condition listed in DSM-IV. A final pair of chapters deal with motor activity and prescriptive treatment, both in their connection to the DSM-IV.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This Third Edition of Adult Psychopathology and Diagnosis reflects both the rapid advancement in the understanding of psychopathological states and the ongoing effort to organize the field into a systematic and unified body of knowledge. It incorporates the nomenclature of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–IVTM) to present an integration of the empirical data and diagnostic criteria and identify the empirical underpinnings of specific disorders and their diagnoses.

Mirroring major emerging trends and issues in psychopathology, this Third Edition features three new overview chapters: "Dimensional versus Categorical Classification," "Structured Interviewing and DSM Classification," and "Genetic Basis and Psychopathology." New diagnostic categories somatoform disorders and sleep disorders have been added due to the development of important new information and the refinement of diagnostic categories; and the section on special topics includes a new presentation on multidimensional assessment strategies.

Each chapter begins with a discussion of the clinical picture of the disorder and moves on to diagnostic criteria, major theories of etiology, and issues of assessment and measurement. A special section at the end of each chapter delves into an emerging body of data describing similarities and differences in the manifestation of psychiatric disorders among racial and ethnic minority groups and differences associated with gender.

Adult Psychopathology and Diagnosis, Third Edition is the most comprehensive and up–to–date textbook of its kind for graduate–level courses in clinical psychiatry, psychology, and psychiatric social work. It is also an excellent reference source for academicians, clinicians, and other professionals in the field.
