About this title

Synopsis

This book is about depression: it critically reviews both the latest results, and the most recent advances in clinical therapy techniques.
The first part of the book provides a clear and concise overview of all the important new results concerning the course of affective psychoses, discussing them against the background of comprehensive and quite interesting genetic studies. The pathogenetic findings provide the framework for presenting recent studies on chronobiology, neuroendocrinology, and personality research.
The second part of the book provides a clearly structured overview of the most effective forms of clinical therapy for depressive disorders known to date. The focus here is on practical cognitive and pharmacological approaches, especially in the context of therapy resistance. Also featured are the latest results concerning electroconvolusive therapy.
The editors, themselves world class authorities in this field, have brought together a group of internationally renowned experts to make this book as solid, practical, and interesting as possible for clinicians looking to improve their skills as therapists, and also for students and researchers wanting to keep up on the most effective techniques. This volume appears under the auspices of the International PTD Committee.
