Dsm Iv Tr Casebook

One of the main purposes of psychiatric diagnosis is to guide treatment selection. Although the DSM-IV-TR Casebook discussions often briefly mention treatment and follow-up, the focus is almost exclusively on diagnosis. This Treatment Companion takes the next step: For 34 cases (all but 3 from the DSM-IV-TR Casebook), world-renowned experts discuss their approach to treatment for a case in their specialty area -- both how they would manage the specific case and the general principles of treatment for that disorder. Treatment Companion to the DSM-IV-TR Casebook is an indispensable companion designed to help students, residents, and clinicians conceptualize how DSM-IV-TR can be used in everyday practice and will be invaluable in helping mental health professionals develop a deeper comprehension of all diagnostic categories and their treatments.
