Description:
Written to help identify major gaps in our knowledge of how gender and age affect psychiatric diagnoses and to stimulate much-needed research, this book serves as both a valuable short-term source for the DSM-V Task Force, and a long-term guide for future studies that will contribute to revised psychiatric classifications in these areas.
Review Quotes:
Age and Gender Considerations in Psychiatric Diagnosis is a challenge to read and an excellent reference, especially for researcher, funding agencies, and those parcititioners who like to stay ahead of new ways to conceptualize the ever-expanding elements that need to be given consideration in diagnosis and treatment decisions.
