Review

"For layperson and professional alike, Treating Mental Disorders: A Guide to What Works offers a comprehensive and highly readable compendium of the best psychotherapeutic and drug treatments available today." "Devoting chapters to thirteen types of mental disorders, Peter E. Nathan, Jack M. Gorman, and Neil J. Salkind employ a question-and-answer format to clearly communicate the latest knowledge on the wide variety of treatments available today. Each chapter discusses the definition and diagnosis of a particular disorder and then emphasizes which treatments work best, considering both psychotherapies and drug options, combinations of the two, as well as the pros and cons of each therapy." "Treating Mental Disorders is the best place to start for anyone seeking help for any number of mental disorders and an essential reference for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and anyone else involved in providing treatment for mental illness."--Jacket
