"A Guide to Treatments That Work is a mammoth effort... This book began as a project of an APA Division 12 task force which made the significant decision to broaden its scope to include efficacious treatments whether psychosocial or medical in type. Psychologist Peter Nathan, chair of the task force, is joined as coeditor by Jack Gorman, a prominent biological psychiatrist, and the chapters are written by highly respected clinical researchers from both camps... This book is a boon in that regard." --Contemporary Psychology"This is one of the best, most comprehensive discussions of psychiatric disorders and treatments that I have ever encountered... simply wonderful." --Journal of Neurology"In this book, you will find detailed research--and experience-based information on pharmacological and psychological treatments that work on a long list of disorders relating to human thought and action... This is an excellent text for all people working in mental health." --BizIndia"This book's main strength is that the authors are using an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy for many major psychiatric conditions, an area many clinicians unfortunately neglect in their treatment recommendations. This is a worthy effort and one book likely to be used over and over, not accumulating dust on a shelf." --Doody's
