Like its predecessors, this fourth edition of A Guide to Treatments
That Work offers detailed chapters that review the latest research
on pharmacological and psychosocial treatments that work for the
full range of psychiatric and psychological disorders, written in
most instances by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who have
been major contributors to that literature. Similarly, the
standards by which the authors were asked to evaluate the
methodological rigor of the research on treatments have also
remained the same. Each chapter in A Guide to Treatments That Work
follows the same general outline: a review of diagnostic cues to
the disorder, a discussion of changes in the nomenclatures from
DSM-IV to DSM-5, and then a systematic review of research, most of
which has been reported within the last few years, that represents
the evidence base for the treatments reviewed. In all, 26 of the
volume's 28 chapters review the evidence base for 17 major
syndromes. Featuring this coverage is a Summary of Treatments that
Work, an extended matrix offering a ready reference by syndrome of
the conclusions reached by the chapter authors on treatments that
work reviewed in their chapters. New to this edition are two
chapters at the beginning of the book. Chapter 1 details two
perplexing issues raised by critics of DSM-5: the unrealized
potential of neuroscience biomarkers to yield more accurate and
reliable diagnoses and the lingering problem of conflicts of
interest in pharmaceutical research. Chapter 2 contrasts Native
American and western ways of identifying effective treatments for
mental and physical disorders, concluding that "evidence-informed
culture-based" interventions sometimes constitute best practices in
Native communities. Two chapters detailing pharmacological
treatments for pediatric bipolar disorder (Chapter 9) and pediatric
depressive disorder (Chapter 12) have also been added. More than
three quarters of the chapters are written by colleagues who also
contributed to most or all of the previous editions. Hence, this
new edition provides up-to-date information on the quality of
research on treatment efficacy and effectiveness provided by
individuals who know the research best.
