The Series "Evidence and Experience in Psychiatry"

This book series aims to provide a critical overview of the research evidence concerning the diagnosis and management of the most prevalent mental disorders and a survey of the relevant clinical experience in the various regions of the world.

A second edition of the first four volumes (completely updated, with several chapters totally re-written) has just been published in paperback.
