"…is a unique resource, the goal of which is to review empirically based treatments for psychiatric conditions. There are few other resources that parallel this volume, which essentially summarizes the majority of treatments that have been proven effective for mental illness. This book is a very thorough text that serves an important read. Whether reading it cover to cover or using it to research a specific mental condition, readers will not be disappointed." (Journal of Psychiatric Practice, September 2008)Praise for the Prior Edition

“The clear linkage of complex research-based diagnoses with practical therapeutic interventions is best spelled out in this book! There is nothing better to read on this subject—a must for all professionals and students in the mental health field.”--Fred Bemak, professor, counseling and development, College of Education and Human Development, George Mason University

“Dr. Linda Seligman’s book is an outstanding reference for all mental health professionals. This excellent revision, with the new chapter dealing with children, insures that diagnosis and treatment are considered within a truly lifespan approach.”--Thomas H. Hohenshil, Ph.D., professor of counselor education and psychology, Virginia Tech

“Linda Seligman, professor, practitioner, and researcher, shows her skill in connecting diagnosis to treatment. She writes in a way that is down-to-earth and user-friendly. This information will enable counselors and therapists to increase both their efficiency and their effectiveness and thus remain viable members of the helping professions in the twenty-first century.” --Robert E.
