Infos

Psychiatric diagnosis is one of the most important topics within
the broad field of psychiatry. Clear, accurate definitions of the
various disorders are essential for clinicians around the world to
be confident that they are classifying patients in the same way,
thereby enabling comparisons of treatment regimens and their
outcomes. There are two major classification systems in use, one
produced by the World Health Organization, the WHO International
Classification of Diseases, Mental Disorders Chapter, and one by
the American Psychiatric Association, the well known Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Both of these are being
revised so this book from the prestigious World Psychiatric
Association is especially timely.

In this book, leading experts in the field provide a broad and
integrated coverage of the concepts, structure and context of
psychiatric diagnosis. It begins by addressing mental health and
illness around the world from historical, philosophical and
cultural perspectives. Health is approached comprehensively, to
include such aspects as resilience, resources and quality of life.
The book then covers major specific psychopathology topics in
Section II, including new categorizations and dimensional
approaches. Section III concentrates on the complex problem of
comorbidity, a primary challenge for modern diagnostic
classifications in psychiatry. Finally, Section IV reviews emerging
international diagnostic systems in psychiatry, considering
innovative models and adaptations.

This book will be essential reading for anyone involved in the
diagnosis of psychiatric disorders.
