Synopsis

A three-volume treatise examining the complex, but increasingly common, subject of cross-border insolvency and multi-jurisdictional bankruptcy. Volume one, Bankruptcy Law of the United States, covers aspects of bankruptcy law and practice in the United States for understanding by attorneys who may not deal with US bankruptcy law on a daily basis. Coverage includes: the United States legal system; the principal provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code dealing with liquidation and reorganization; and the treatment of foreign insolvency cases in the United States. It also includes an appendix containing copies of significant international initiatives in the treatment of cross-border insolvencies, including the UNCITRAL Model Law and the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Depression: Theories and Treatments presents a thorough overview of the major issues in the study and treatment of depression. In one volume it examines all the major theoretical, assessment, and treatment strategies, and based on the most recent research offers clear explanations of the psychological, biological, and cultural aspects of depression. Rather than favoring a particular treatment approach, the authors provide a balanced presentation with research-based indicators of the particular techniques or approaches to be used, including medications that have proven useful. A comprehensive, step-by-step assessment guide is included. Rich in cases and new findings, the volume concludes with a discussion of how gender, age, race, and socioeconomic status can be important factors in depression. Technical terms are explained and minitutorials are provided throughout so that the text is understandable to all readers.

Review

[This is] the first book to encompass the major theoretical, assessment, treatment, and generalization strategies in one volume. It provides the nonmedical practitioner with a biological explanation in terms he or she can understand... and provides a clear explanation of the use of medication in the treatment of depression.
