Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Provides information on the DSM-IV system, for example, how to use the Culture-Bound syndromes in order to produce a Cultural Formulation. Other features include coverage of the major classes of DSM-IV disorders, concise summaries of each class of disorder, visual aids, and summaries of treatments. The physical book is poorly made<-->a book block poorly pasted into a too-small case that caused our review copy to come apart at the spine. The wise buyer will avoid bibliochiropracty and save money by purchasing the paperback and a decent case to put it in. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
