PsychiatryOnline.com Adds Gabbard’s Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders
Leading Authorities Address Cutting-edge Treatments of Major Mental Illnesses
Arlington, Va. – Gabbard’s Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders, 4th Edition, will debut as part of the core offerings at www.PsychiatryOnline.com in January 2008. More than 160 authorities share insights gained from firsthand experience in a state-of-the-art text that covers all major treatments in psychiatry linked to specific disorders.
The text employs a pluralistic approach that includes all major treatment modalities and avoids focusing exclusively on preferred approaches. Scrupulously reviewed and edited to consolidate treatment information most needed by readers, the book is organized along the lines of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fourth Edition Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) to cover the entire spectrum of conditions, from cognitive, psychotic, and mood disorders to eating disorders, sleep disorders and disorders of impulse control. “Making Gabbard’s Treatments available in the PsychiatryOnline portal is an innovation that will benefit practicing mental health physicians, professionals and students alike,” said the book’s editor, Glen O. Gabbard, M.D., Brown Foundation Chair of Psychoanalysis and Professor of Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine. “One can now access the latest cutting-edge treatments for all the major psychiatric disorders along with the content of DSM-IV-TR and other resources on the same Web site. It’s truly a ‘one-stop shopping’ phenomenon now.”
The Gabbard title joins other vital content from American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. (APPI): DSM-IV-TR, differential diagnostic advice and case examples; the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Practice Guidelines (including new guidelines and revisions as they are released by APA); the Textbook of Clinical Psychiatry (with interactive self-assessment); Essentials of Psychopharmacology (with interactive self-assessment); Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology; medication information handouts for patients; and The American Journal of Psychiatry and other journals published by APA and APPI.
