A systematic, research-based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the major mental disorders-updated to reflect the changes in the DSM-5
This thoroughly revised and updated edition of Linda Seligman's classic book, Selecting Effective Treatments combines the latest research on evidence-based practices with practical, how-to information on implementation. Filled with numerous illustrative case studies and helpful examples, this Fourth Edition features expanded coverage of:
- Provides a bridge between the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 as mental health practitioners transition between the two
- Helps mental health practitioners explain their choice of treatment approach to their clients, to their supervisors and colleagues, and to MCOs
- Covers the changes in criteria in the DSM-5
- Discusses trauma and its effect across the lifespan, suicide assessment and prevention, and new treatment approaches, including mindfulness
- Offers insights into childhood disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and attachment disorder
- Guides professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of depression, borderline personality disorder, the schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and the bipolar disorders
With a new discussion of treatment strategies for dual diagnosis, Selecting Effective Treatments, Fourth Edition provides a pathway for treatment of mental disorders based on the most recent evidence-based research, while at the same time recognizing that the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders are part of a dynamic and evolving field that embraces individuality and personalization.
