Preface
Psychiatry underwent a sea change since the last edition of this book was published: A new classification of mental disorders was developed and codified in a fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) published by the American Psychiatric Association. The reader will find all of those changes incorporated into this new, sixth edition of the Pocket Handbook of Clinical Psychiatry. Every section in this book has been updated and revised and all the diagnoses of mental disorder conform to the criteria listed in DSM-5.
Each disorder is described using the specific parameters of diagnosis, epidemiology, etiology, clinical signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment. This book serves as a ready reference to diagnose and treat the full range of mental disorders in both adults and children. Over the years, psychiatrists and nonpsychiatric physicians have found it to be a useful guide as have medical students, especially during their rotations through psychiatry. It is also used by psychologists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and many other mental health professionals.
The Pocket Handbook is a minicompanion to the recently published encyclopedic tenth edition of Kaplan & Sadocks Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry (CTP-X) and each chapter in this book ends with references to the more detailed relevant sections in that textbook.
The authors, Benjamin Sadock, M.D. and Virginia Sadock, M.D. are particularly pleased that Samoon Ahmad, M.D., a close friend and professional associate has joined them as a full author. He is a distinguished psychiatrist with a national and international reputation as both an educator and clinician. His participation has immeasurably helped and enhanced the preparation of this book.
We wish to thank several persons who have helped. We want to acknowledge Norman Sussman, M.D. who has collaborated with us as consulting and contributing editor in many Kaplan & Sadock books. We also thank James Sadock, M.D. and Victoria Sadock Gregg, M.D., experts in adult and child emergency medicine respectively, for their help. Our assistant, Heidiann Grech was crucial in the preparation of this book for which we are most grateful. As always, our publishers continue to maintain their high standards for which we are most appreciative. At Wolters Kluwer, we especially want to thank Lexi Pozonsky for her help.
