Each expert-authored chapter covers description, epidemiology, prevalence, assessment, treatment, and consequences. Also considered are neurobiological, genetic, behavioral, social, cognitive, and emotional factors. Throughout the book, DSM-5 classifications are matched with clinical case examples illustrating how a psychopathology and its assessment influence treatment.
