Although adjustment disorders (AD) have been included in the major
psychiatric diagnostic classifications for over 50 years, no book
devoted solely to the topic of AD's has been published to date.
Apart from scant coverage in psychiatric textbooks, there is little
to assist the doctor or therapist in understanding or making a
diagnosis of AD. The result is the under-recognition of AD's in
settings where it is believed to be a common condition. In general
practice, where AD's are said to be the most common disorder, they
are seldom recognized and are misdiagnosed as depressive illness
(major depressive disorder) or generalized anxiety disorder. Even
among psychiatrists, AD's are underdiagnosed, except in
consultation-liaison psychiatry, and even there, changes in
diagnostic practice are afoot. Adjustment Disorder: From
Controversy to Clinical Practice provides concise and comprehensive
information on AD's and advances a greater understanding and better
diagnostic skills among those clinicians working with this group of
patients. This accessible and clinically driven book is amplified
by up-to-date theoretical information such as exploring the
psychobiology of AD's, considering the best evidence-based
treatments, and touching on the philosophical questions that AD's
raise, such as whether AD's are actually a disease. The chapters
follow a natural progression beginning with the history and
controversies, through to epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment,
then addressing the biology of AD's and concluding with an
examination of AD's in special groups such as children and
adolescents as well as in medico-legal settings.
