The purpose of this handbook, originally published in 1984, was to
provide a compreh- sive review of current clinical descriptions,
research , and theories of psychopathology. Descriptive
psychopathology is a ?eld that forms the foundation of clinical
practice and research in clinical psychology, psychiatry,
psychiatric social work, psychiatric nursing, and allied
professions in mental health. Since the 1st edition, the editors
have devised and updated a handbook to cover both general and
speci?c topics in psychopathology that would be useful to
researchers, practitioners, and graduate or other advanced students
in the mental health and behavioral medicine professions. To
implement this plan, we have very carefully chosen colleagues whom
we respect for their expertise in particular ?elds. These authors
include both clinicians and researchers who have outstanding
national reputations, as well as more junior behavioral scientists
and clinicians who, in our opinion, will achieve similar
recognition in the future. The excellent chapters in this book lead
us to believe that we have chosen wisely. We would like to express
our appreciation to these authors for their outstanding
contributions and cooperation.
The major purpose of this handbook is to provide a comprehensive
review of current clinical descriptions, research, and theories of
psychopathology. Descrip tive psychopathology is a field that is
the foundation of clinical practice and re search in clinical
psychology, psychiatry, psychiatric social work, psychiatric
nursing, and allied professions in mental health. Psychopathology
is often per ceived as "a stepchild" of the more glamorous areas of
diagnosis or assessment and therapy or behavioral change.
Nevertheless, it is doubtful that any meaningful advancements in
these areas will occur until there is a thorough understanding of
the behavioral disorders. The purpose of the present project was to
devise a handbook that covered both general and specific topics in
psychopathology and that would be useful to re searchers,
practitioners, and graduate or other advanced students in the
mental health professions. In order to implement this plan, we
selected very carefully colleagues whom we respect for their
expertise in particular fields. These include both clinicians and
researchers with outstanding national reputations, as well as more
junior behavioral scientists and clinicians who, in our opinion,
will achieve similar recognition in the future. The chapters in
this book lead us to believe that we have chosen wisely. We would
like to express our appreciation to these authors for their
outstanding contributions and cooperation."
