Summary
The book begins with an historical overview of diagnostic systems, a discussion of how the current DSM system was developed and how it works in clinical and research practice. This is followed by an overview of the assessment of psychopathology and how the systems of assessment have derived from the prevailing model of psychopathology of disorders that are being assessed. It also discusses the DSM Axis I and Axis II adult disorder with unique chapters on specific anxiety and depression disorders. Coverage includes description from DMS, using case examples; epidemiology; prevalence (with particular attention to gender and cultural differences) and consequences of the disorder; basic research, including neurobiology and neuroscience of the disorder; translational research regarding the disorder; behavioural, social, cognitive, and emotional aspects of the disorder; and treatment of the disorder, using clinical examples showing how psychopathology and assessment influence treatment.
