Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders

The definitive treatment textbook in psychiatry, this fifth edition of
Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders has been thoroughly restructured
to reflect the new DSM-5 categories, preserving its value as a state-of-the-art
resource and increasing its utility in the field. The editors have produced a
volume that is both comprehensive and concise, meeting the needs of clinicians
who prefer a single, user-friendly volume. In the service of brevity, the book
focuses on treatment over diagnostic considerations, and addresses both
empirically-validated treatments and accumulated clinical wisdom where research
is lacking.

Noteworthy features include the following: Content is
organized according to DSM-5 categories to make for rapid retrieval of relevant
treatment information for the busy clinician. Outcome studies and expert
opinion are presented in an accessible way to help the clinician know what
treatment to use for which disorder, and how to tailor the treatment to the
patient. Content is restricted to the major psychiatric conditions seen in
clinical practice while leaving out less common conditions and those that have
limited outcome research related to the disorder, resulting in a more
streamlined and affordable text. Chapters are meticulously referenced and
include dozens of tables, figures, and other illustrative features that enhance
comprehension and recall.

An authoritative resource for psychiatrists,
psychologists, and psychiatric nurses, and an outstanding reference for students
in the mental health professions, Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders,
Fifth Edition, will prove indispensable to clinicians seeking to provide
excellent care while transitioning to a DSM-5 world.
