Synopsis

The 53 cases offered in this volume bring to life the field of differential therapeutics. The book's three authors provide a remarkably clear and organized approach to treatment selection as well as a series of high-quality grand rounds. A vivid description of each case is followed by the clinical process of selecting the setting, how to choose the optimal treatment format, duration and frequency of treatment, a discussion of the best approach to treatment, and a description of the choices made and their results. In addition to these contemporary cases, a number of historical cases are given modern-day treatment plans. The book also provides a conceptual guide for treatment selection that concisely summarizes the background and rationale of the different components of modern psychiatric treatment.
