Description
Book SynopsisWritten to help identify major gaps in our knowledge of how gender and age affect psychiatric diagnoses and to stimulate much-needed research, this book serves as both a valuable short-term source for the DSM-V Task Force, and a long-term guide for future studies that will contribute to revised psychiatric classifications in these areas.
Trade ReviewAge and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis is a challenge to read and an excellent reference, especially for researcher, funding agencies, and those parcititioners who like to stay ahead of new ways to conceptualize the ever-expanding elements that need to be given consideration in diagnosis and treatment decisions.
* Journal of Clinical Psychiatry *
The APA has provided the field with an exceptionally important contribution that offers assessment of the current state of knowledge and gives direction for future research to advance understanding. It also underscores the dynamic relationship among clinical practice, theoretical knowledge, and clinical research.
