In response to the field's numerous advances, the editors present an extensively revised and expanded version of their warmly received work. In this new edition, eminent contributors direct their discussions on diagnosis to DSM-IV disorders in sections covering general issues, psychiatric disorders, and special populations. New chapters cover interviewing strategies for marital dyads, children, sexually and physically abused children, organically impaired patients, and older adults. The Second Edition is an invaluable guide for graduate students, clinicians, and professionals.
