Descriptive Psychopathology The Signs and Symptoms of Behavioral Disorders By: Michael Alan Taylor; Nutan Atre Vaidya Publisher: Cambridge University Press Print ISBN: 9780521713917, 0521713919 eText ISBN: 9780511736926, 0511736924 Edition: 1st Format: EPUB Available from $ 106.00 USD SKU: 9780511736926 In order to accurately describe and diagnose psychiatric illness, practitioners require in-depth knowledge of the signs and symptoms of behavioral disorders. Descriptive Psychopathology provides a broad review of the psychopathology of psychiatric illness, beyond the limitations of the DSM and ICD criteria. Beginning with a discussion of the background to psychiatric classification, the authors explore the problems and limitations of current diagnostic systems. The following chapters then present the principles of psychiatric examination and diagnosis, described with accompanying patient vignettes and summary tables, and related to different diagnostic concerns. A thought-provoking conclusion proposes a restructuring of psychiatric classification based on the psychopathology literature and its validating data. Written for psychiatry and neurology residents, clinical psychologists, behavioral neurologists, clinical psychology students and psychiatric nurse practitioners, it is invaluable to anyone who accepts the responsibility for the care of patients with behavioral syndromes.
