During the past several decades, the field of mental health care
has expanded greatly. This expansion has been based on greater
recognition of the prevalence and treatability of mental disorders,
as well as the availability of a variety of forms of effective
treatment. Indeed, throughout this period, our field has witnessed
the introduction and the wide spread application of specific
pharmacological treatments, as well as the development, refinement,
and more broadly based availability of behavioral, psychodynamic,
and marital and family interventions. The community mental health
center system has come into being, and increasing numbers of mental
health practitioners from the fields of psychiatry, psychology,
social work, nursing, and related professional disciplines have
entered clinical practice. In concert with these developments,
powerful sociopolitical and socioeconomic forces-including the
deinstitutionalization movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s
and the cost-containment responses of the 1980s, necessitated by
the spiraling cost of health care-have shaped the greatest area of
growth in the direction of outpatient services. This is
particularly true of the initial assessment and treatment of
nonpsychotic mental disorders, which now can often be managed in
ambulatory-care settings. Thus, we decided that a handbook focusing
on the outpatient treatment of mental disorders would be both
timely and useful. When we first began outlining the contents of
this book, the third edition of the American Psychiatric
Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disor
ders (DSM-III) was in its fourth year of use."
