Clinical Manual of Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment: A Biopsychosocial Approach
"At the beginning of "Clinical Manual of Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment: A Biopsychosocial Approach, " the author modestly informs us that this is not a comprehensive textbook of psychiatry. Yet the reader will find ten beefy chapters, arranged by diagnostic category, addressing the major issues psychiatrists encounter in clinical practice. Dr. Pies' great strength is his comfortable writing style. He communicates a great deal of technical material in a friendly manner. The text is well-organized and chock-full of clinical vignettes."-- "David S. Harnett, M.D., Chief of Psychiatry and Director, Medical-Psychiatric Unit, Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford, Mass."
