A convenient, up-to-date, time-saving reference for the diagnosis, psychopharmacologic treatment, and psychotherapeutic management of the full range of psychiatric disorders. Includes a highly useful separate section devoted to psychiatric disorders occurring in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Extensive Index and detailed Table of Contents afford easy access to material.

Review:

One of the best and most usable psychiatry texts

I agree with the other favorable reviews. The Lange series in general is amazing--affordable and complete at the same time. I was impressed with the detailed discussion of alternate theories of personality development, the possible etiologies of the mental illnesses, and the theories of drug action. Many psychiatric texts, including the very pricy "standards," tend to be written in a dogmatic, cookbook style. In contrast, the Lange book does not try to shield the reader from the ambiguity and uncertainty that face anyone treating the mental disorders.

I noticed a few important errors, though. One of the drug side effect charts contains the absurd assertion that tranylcypromine is highly sedating (in fact, it is so activating that a few patients have used it to get a meth-like "high") whereas trazadone (used more as a sleep aid than as an antidepressant) is "low" in sedation. Obviously, one should not rely on this book exclusively for prescribing infomation.

In combination with a more carefully edited psychopharmacology reference, *Current Diagnosis...* should be very useful to both serious medical students and new psychiatric residents.

Also recommended: For pre-1994 medications, the late Dr. Bernstein's *Drug Therapy in Psychiatry* remains the best monograph on the subject.

Review:

CAPTIVATING AND WELL-ARRANGED

From infancy to adolescence, it is hard to find any medium-sized book that described developmental psychiatry (and psychology) the way this 640-paged "Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Psychiatry" did.
Generous information were given to both psycho-etiology (including psychiatric genetics) and psycho-pharmacology. Anxiety, eating and sleeping disorders, as well as impulse-control problems were explained in details.
The topics contained in this book are so captivating and well-arranged that you will never want to stop once you've started. The book is a masterpiece!
