A Guide to Treatments that Work 2nd ed.

The award-winning A Guide To Treatments That Work, first published in 1998, was the first book to assemble the numerous advances in both clinical psychology and psychiatry into one accessible volume. It immediately established itself as an indispensable reference for all mental health practitioners.

Now in a fully updated edition, this book takes stock of which treatments and interventions actually work, which don't, and what still remains beyond the scope of our current knowledge. This new edition has been extensively revised to take account of recent drug developments and advances in psychotherapeutic interventions. The contributors thoroughly review all available outcome data and clinical trials and clinical trials, and provide detailed specification of methods and procedures to ensure effective treatment for each major disorder.
