| Abstract: | (from the cover) In 1998, Academic Press published the 3-volume Encyclopedia of Mental Health providing coverage of disorders, epidemiology, issues of treating specific patient populations, therapies, and more. The editors now presents a more concise work: Assessment and Therapy, containing only those articles specific to therapeutic treatment and accuracy in assessment. The 26 articles address both standard therapies, such as psychoanalysis, family therapy, and couples therapy, as well as newer treatment methods such as those encompassing brain neuroimaging. Methodological issues receive attention throughout, with articles on nontraditional approaches to classifying mental disorders and standards for psychotherapy. Also included is a cross section of topics not considered psychiatric pathology but which can be important to understanding therapy to achieving success in treatment.
