Next addressed are the practical tasks of clinical evaluation and intervention, including expanded coverage of how to integrate medical and psychosocial assessment findings into a coherent case formulation. Illustrated with all new case material, the second edition also includes information on the latest biomedical and pharmacological treatments, such as Viagra; updated research data and references; and quick-reference tables to guide in treatment planning."--BOOK JACKET.
