ABSTRACT
First published in 1989. The primary author and other contributors assume that the reader is familiar with psychiatric evaluation and with the diagnostic format of DSM-III-R. They should be pursuing treatment approaches with clear working diagnoses in mind before picking up this book. This book may be useful for general physicians or certain nonmedical mental health clinicians; however, it is not intended to take the place of consultation from or referral to a psychiatrist.
