Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Steven T Herron, MD (CPI/Assurance Health and Wellness)
Description: Like its predecessors, this book represents and illustrates reviews of the most current scientific literature regarding the "treatments for psychiatric disorders for which evidence-based interventions have been developed" using standards developed and refined in prior editions of the book.
Purpose: As more evidence accumulates about the most effective forms of treatment for psychiatric disorders, it becomes more challenging not only to keep pace with the updates, but also to make sense of conflicting information and complex data. The editors of this book detail the latest research on both psychopharmacologic and psychosocial treatments for many mental health diagnoses.
Audience: The primary audience for this book includes clinicians and trainees who are providing care for patients with mental health disorders, though anyone researching effective treatment options or are curious about additional research-based modalities will also find this work useful.
Features: Highlighting many of the major psychiatric diagnoses, including assessing potential issues related to changes from DSM-IV to DSM-5, the authors attempt to evaluate the evidence for various forms of treatment (medication and psychotherapy). Chapters generally end with a summary section and are followed by an extensive list of references. There are some useful tables (most notably in the first section of the book, the "Summary of Treatments That Work"), but no pictures or diagrams of note.
Assessment: Although this is the fourth edition of this book, my familiarity with the previous editions is limited, at best. While it is clear why new editions of books such as this are necessary, what is more understandable after reviewing this work is the reason it is popular among mental health providers. It is remarkably thorough without being overwhelming. The information is readily accessible and is useful for clinicians who are referring to it briefly, or opening it to brush up on the literature in a given area. But this book's main strength is that the authors also are using an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy for many major psychiatric conditions, an area many clinicians unfortunately neglect in their treatment recommendations. This is a worthy effort and one book likely to be used over and over, not accumulating dust on a shelf.

Doody's Review Service

"This book belongs in every college library. It is a systematic review of various treatments currently in use for thoroughly all of the recognized mental disorders. Written by experts in the field and complete with many useful bibliographies, the volume is of considerable importance to those interested in the field of mental health and treatment... Highly recommended." —Choice

"A Guide to Treatments That Work is a mammoth effort... This book began as a project of an APA Division 12 task force which made the significant decision to broaden its scope to include efficacious treatments whether psychosocial or medical in type. Psychologist Peter Nathan, chair of the task force, is joined as coeditor by Jack Gorman, a prominent biological psychiatrist, and the chapters are written by highly respected clinical researchers from both camps... This book is a boon in that regard." —Contemporary Psychology

"This is one of the best, most comprehensive discussions of psychiatric disorders and treatments that I have ever encountered... simply wonderful." —Journal of Neurology

"In this book, you will find detailed research—and experience-based information on pharmacological and psychological treatments that work on a long list of disorders relating to human thought and action... This is an excellent text for all people working in mental health." —BizIndia

"This book's main strength is that the authors are using an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy for many major psychiatric conditions, an area many clinicians unfortunately neglect in their treatment recommendations. This is a worthy effort and one book likely to be used over and over, not accumulating dust on a shelf." —Doody's

From the Publisher

Numerous psychologists and psychiatrists, most of whom work in the US, collaborate on 28 articles about psychopharmacological or psychosocial treatments of DSM-IV categories for which there are known treatments. Contributors were asked to present the most rigorous, scientifically based evidence for the efficacy of the treatments. As a result, readers can distinguish between those treatments that have been scientifically validated and those that are felt to be of value but have not been properly examined scientifically.
