Adult Psychopathology and Diagnosis - Hardcover

Beginning with an overview, this volume discusses such issues as dimensional versus categorical classification, structured interviewing, and possible genetic influences on psychopathology. The next section, on specific disorders, contains a separate chapter on every major psychopathological condition listed in DSM-IV. A final pair of chapters deal with motor activity and prescriptive treatment, both in their connection to the DSM-IV.
