Psychopathology

'… a very useful, up-to-date treatment of psychopathological research … It has heightened my appreciation of progress achieved to date, of the outstanding problems remaining, and of the importance of a multileveled approach to the study of mental disorder. This book would be particulary suitable for psychiatry trainees and for researchers.' Bryan Mowry, Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry
