This book is devoted to the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) in
psychiatry; a methodology for collecting reliable and valid data on
patterns of behavior, thought, and feeling from real-life
situations. ESM thus yields data complementary to that provided by
neurobiological approaches to mental illnesses and is applicable to
the study and management of a wide variety of mental disorders in
their natural settings. Marten de Vries, who did much to bring ESM
to prominence in psychiatry, has assembled a fascinating range of
contributions from leading international pioneers in ESM-- many
which have never before been published--dealing with the diagnostic
and therapeutic possibilities of this approach. Methodological and
practical issues are also addressed for those wishing to use ESM in
their own research or practice. Case studies illustrate the uses of
experience sampling in schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders
and addictions, and there are also chapters devoted to ESM's
application to the elderly, those under stress, and to normal
subjects.
