Note: The authors have worked to ensure that all information in this book is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with general psychiatric and medical standards, and that information concerning drug dosages, schedules, and routes of administration is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general medical community. As medical research and practice continue to advance, however, therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may require a specific therapeutic response not included in this book. For these reasons and because human and mechanical errors sometimes occur, we recommend that readers follow the advice of physicians directly involved in their care or the care of a member of their family.

Books published by American Psychiatric Association Publishing represent the findings, conclusions, and views of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent the policies and opinions of American Psychiatric Association Publishing or the American Psychiatric Association.

This book is dedicated to two modest but highly influential physicians and leaders in American Psychiatry:

Robert Hales, M.D., M.B.A.,
was Editor in Chief at American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., for more than 15 years and has been a long-term invaluable mentor of P.Y. Dr. Hales has contributed enormously to the discipline of Psychiatry worldwide, not only through his own remarkable published output of more than 65 authored and edited books but also through his encouragement and support of numerous colleagues to follow in his steps.

James (Jim) Shore, M.D.,
was Chancellor of the combined University of Colorado Denver and Anschutz Medical Campuses; Chairman of the University of Colorado and University of Oregon Departments of Psychiatry; and former President of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American College of Psychiatrists. Dr. Shore mentored a generation of academic leaders and psychiatrists and championed access and service in public psychiatry for underserved communities.
