Review

"This lucidly conceived, concise but thoroughly comprehensive volume brings to the reader a transnational company of literate experts on topics from neurochemistry to nosology, and from psychoanalysis and family treatments to psychopharmacology. It is the kind of valuable book one keeps near at hand to access the latest facts and perspectives that undergird modern psychiatric thoughts and practices with the entire range of affective disorders." --Daniel X. Freedman, M.D.

"The HANDBOOK OF AFFECTIVE DISORDERS, 2ND EDITION, is an outstanding book, covering almost every conceivable field of interest in mood disorders. Its comprehensiveness will insure its usefulness to general psychiatric and psychological practitioners as well as to specialists and it no doubt will become the standard reference work." --Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D.
