Description
Book SynopsisThis volume represents a far-reaching attempt to stimulate research and discussion in the field in preparation for the start of the DSM-V process, still several years away, and to integrate information from a wide variety of sources and technologies.
Trade ReviewThis book will stimulate research by bringing into play information about updated empirical databases, providing insight into the process of integrating research findings from a classification system that is etiologically based rather than descriptive, and stimulating discussion at all levels, from residents in training seminars to working groups of research investigators around the world.
-- Adrianna Neagoe, M.D., * Psychiatric Services *
This is an important guide for anyone involved in psychiatric research as well as the general psychiatrist who wants to understand the history of the DSM system and wanted to learn about the proposed future classification systems. The book is easy to read and done in great detail.
-- Raj Tummala, M.D., * Doody's Health Science Book Reviews *
I congratulate the authors of the sis chapters of this book as well as its editors. Without question, this volume represents a far-reaching effort and a good start for the work ahead. One hopes that all of the goals in hand for a successful and well-accepted DSM-V will be met not only in the United States but across the world as well.
