Summary: No-nonsense DSM IV based look at psychopathology & treatment
Comment: Essential Psychopathology is a no-nonsense, DSM IV based loook at psychopathology and treatment that is an excellent resource for the beginning counseling student who needs a cogent look at psychopathology. This book describes the genetics, epidemiology, and psychopharmacology of mental disorders and offers guidelines for treatment.

It is slightly dated due to the fact that the DSM IV-TR has come out, but there is not any appreciable differences in how each pathology is presented.

Rating: 3
Summary: Misleading Title
Comment: For the price, this somewhat dated book, is good for someone looking to understand the symptom oriented, medical model of psychopathology. However, if you are willing to pay a little more, the two volume "Psychiatry" is much better. If you are looking for a complete understanding of the treatment of psychopathology, this book is probably not for you. It provides limited coverage of psychological, social, and client centered variables. The above mentioned "Psychiatry" is again a better bet, as is "The Oxford Textbook of Psychopathology."

Rating: 5
Summary: Essential Psychopathology and Its Treatment
Comment: This book is excellant for anyone working or interested in the mental health field. The authors put the DSM-IV materials into practical workings for psychotherapy and case management. They explain the importance of differential diagnosis as they review the various diagnostic criteria. While it could be used as a reference book, I found it most helpful when I read the chapters in sequence. It is a must have!
