Disorders Specialty Articles from the Encyclopedia of Mental Health

In 1998, Academic Press published the award-winning three volume Encyclopedia of Mental Health encompassing coverage of disorders, epidemiology, issues of treating specific patient populations, therapies, and more. By popular demand, we now present a more concise work: The Disorders, containing only those articles specific to mental disorders. Coverage includes 35 peer-reviewed articles by more than 50 expert authors. Articles include standard DSM diagnoses such as depression, schizophrenia, phobias and the like, as well as commonly seen problems across disorders such as Pre-menstrual Syndrome, Alzheimer's Disease, and threat of suicide. Methodological issues receive attention throughout, including chapters on DSM-IV and on nontraditional approaches to classifying mental disorders.
