ReviewsThe book offers new evidence without throwing away what is already known -- the authors kept what works and added new discoveries. They place clinical information in historical context so that newer clinicians can understand how the field has evolved, and create a kind of reference manual, perhaps especially helpful for psychology students who don't yet know all the terms. . . . Those who are just beginning in the field will appreciate the clinical cases and how decisions are made in treatment. . . . [A] good general reference on the different disorders and modalities of treatment, and those looking for updated information on the ICD-10 and the DSM-5 will find it a valuable resource., [T]he content is relevant to therapists working with a range of clients presenting with disorders. . . . I found it to be a very useful guide for professionals of psychiatry and counselling, and others working in the mental health field., [U]seful for both novice and expert clinicians . . . . Many of the chapters include vignettes about the different disorders. This is useful because it helps readers better understand what happens when a condition occurs. This is an excellent book that thoroughly covers the history and purpose of the DSM. I highly recommend it., [A] useful text for students and educators who wish to gain an overview of the epidemiology, clinical course, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, or to simply have as an on-hand reference guide for studying or in clinical practice.

SynopsisA comprehensive revision to the textbook on modernpsychiatric diagnosis and treatment, keyed to the DSM-5and ICD-10., The fourth edition of Essential Psychopathology and Its Treatment is a comprehensive revision of the authoritative textbook on modern psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, and includes of-the-moment material covering rapidly changing fields such as neurochemistry, psychopharmacology, and genetics. Major changes in the DSM-5's philosophy of nosology, which organizes diagnoses according to etiological factors rather than descriptive criteria, demand a substantial revision; this edition reflects those changes, notably doing away with previous DSMs' multiaxial approach to diagnosis. Mark D. Kilgus leads this revision, and with feedback from professors and students who used the previous edition has retooled its conceptual structure to ensure consistency of approach and style. To that end, he elegantly blends DSM-5 and 1CD-10 classifications to minimize confusion for the reader, at the same time reminding us of the larger context-familial, social, genetic, and otherwise-every patient bears. This book provides students with a strong, cohesive conceptual underpinning for psychiatric study, and will both challenge and encourage them to question what they read, pursue topics further, and perhaps chuckle every now and then. Most of all, though, it will prepare them to help their patients; this is a teaching text that assists with discovery, rather than a mere compendium of information on psychopathology. As new findings in neuroscience change the way we approach clinical practice on a constant basis, so has the organization of this edition adapted to more clearly present the range of psychopathologies. Newly overhauled chapters home in on trauma- and stressor-related disorders, somatic symptoms, elimination disorders, and the schizophrenia spectrum. Other topics covered include introductions to assessment and diagnosis, systems-based practice, and legal, ethical, and multicultural issues, in addition to the wide variety of mental disorders reflected in the DSM-5. At a time when psychiatric diagnosis is the cornerstone of all clinical practice, and respect for rigorous scientific thought is spreading in a field accustomed to psychotherapeutic intuition, Essential Psychopathology and Its Treatment is more essential than ever.

Geared to resident students in psychiatry and related disciplines, it makes practical, readable sense of the field., Long considered a leading text on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders, this latest revision includes cutting-edge updates in neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and genetics.
