Two key challenges face mental health practitioners: making the
correct psychiatric diagnosis and choosing the most appropriate
treatment option. This book aims to help with both.

Clinical Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mental
Disorders - Second Edition combines clinically-relevant
information about each of theDSM-IV-TR diagnoses with clear,
detailed information on treatment options, giving full clinical
management advice. Once again, the editors, both leading
psychiatrists, have condensed the chapters on Disorders from Tasman
et al's acclaimed two volume textbook of Psychiatry
(now in its Third Edition), retaining only the content they deem
particularly relevant to the clinician for ease of use.

Each disorder is discussed under the headings of Diagnosis
(including Assessment Issues, Comorbidity, Course, and Differential
Diagnosis, giving diagnostic decision trees where relevant) and
Treatment (listing all therapeutic options, giving practical advice
for patient management, summarising treatment specifics with tables
and treatment flowcharts).

The original edition established itself as the first point of
reference for any clinician or mental health practitioner needing
expert advice on therapeutic options for any psychiatric disorder.
This edition features an additional chapter on the psychiatric
interview and assessment of mental status to increase its
utility.

It echoes the progress in psychiatry regarding the establishment
of an evidenced-based model of taxonomy, diagnosis, etiology, and
treatment. Indeed, from a psychologist's perspective, the equal
consideration provided to empirically supported psychosocial
treatments versus somatic treatment is a significant development in
the field of psychiatry.

"In my opinion, this book would be worth borrowing from the library in order to read specific chapters of interest; perhaps, the common mental health conditions or a rarity recently encountered in clinic." (Occupational Medicine, 8 March 2011)

"The main addition to this edition is a useful introductory chapter on the psychiatric interview, with comments on "compiling the psychiatric database" (which seems to be what used to be called the patient's notes). I was also glad to see rather more mentions of evidence-supported psychological therapies in among the recommended drug treatments than in the previous edition." (Journal of Mental Health, August 2010)
