Synopsis

Focuses on the two major problems of most immediate concern to the medical practitioner: first, the diagnosis, classifications and clinical course of depression; and second, the various treatment modalities. The pharmacotherapy of depression is dealt with in new section, since this is the area that has seen the greatest recent advances. It includes a comprehensive survey of the controlled studies of the treatment of depression by drugs and electroconvulsive therapy, and detailed suggestions regarding the management of the depressed patient. Another section spells out concrete, specific strategies for the psychotherapy of depression.
