Description: An "astonishing encyclopedic compilation"* "Probably the most important single work on longitudinal psychiatric research ever published and ... perhaps the most important book on psychiatric epidemiology. Not only was I personally stunnned by the magnitude of European longitudinal research that I did not know existed, but my sense of discovery has been shared by senior European directors of life history projects with whom I have spoken. ... Every institutional health science library should purchase it without fail." --*American Journal of Psychiatry
