Clinical Manual for Diagnosis and Treatment of Psychotic Depression by Anthony J Rothschild
This is the first comprehensive guide to cover assessment, treatment, and management of the patient with psychotic depression. Dr. Rothschild systematically describes the history, epidemiology, and possible biological causes of psychotic depression and outlines various approaches for diagnosis and assessment.I value this small reference volume and will encourage colleagues to purchase itThat sentiment is not based solely on the fact that I will enjoy seeing it on my shelf as a part of my growing collection of reference manuals. My primary motivation for recommending it will be the fact that it addresses a surprisingly large and important gap in our knowledge base about common mental health disorders.
This manual goes a long way toward filling the gaps in our understanding of psychotic depression while giving strong clinical guidelines for improving the treatment of those with the disorder. It is a welcome addition to any mental health professional's library.
Anthony J. Rothschild, M.D., is the Irving S. and Betty Brudnick Endowed Chair and Professor of Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, UMass Memorial Healthcare in Worcester, Massachusetts.
