"In depth study of psychopathology requires clinical scientists to integrate information from fields as diverse as epidemiology, nosology, and neuroscience. This book is the best example I have yet seen of such an effort. Edited and written by true leaders in the field, anyone studying psychopathology at the graduate level will want to read this book."
