Assessment and Therapy Specialty Articles from the Encyclopedia of Mental Health

In 1998, Academic Press published the award-winning three volume Encyclopedia of Mental Health encompassing coverage of disorders, epidemiology, issues of treating specific patient populations, therapies, and more. By popular demand, we now present a more concise work: Assessment and Therapy, containing only those articles specific to therapeutic treatment and accuracy in assessment. Coverage includes both standard therapies such as psychoanalysis, family therapy, and couples therapy as well as newer treatment methods such as those encompassing brain neuroimaging. Methodological issues receive attention throughout, including important chapters on nontraditional approaches to classifying mental disorders and standards for psychotherapy. Also included is a cross section of topics not considered psychiatric pathology but which can be important to understanding therapy or to achieving success in treatment.
