Description
Current evidence indicates that over two-thirds of mood
disorders pursue a recurrent or chronic course. Yet much of
the progress recorded in the field of mood disorders and
their treatment has been in research into the acute phase of
the illness. Hence there is a need for a volume that
specifically addresses the special clinical problems
encountered inthe recurrent forms of these disorders.
The various chapters of this book embrace a wide range of
topics, including etiology, course, and long-term treatment,
integrative reviews, results of recent investigations, and
clinical reports. In this respect, the contributions reflect
currentconcepts, research, and clinical practice. We have
endeavored to build a bridge between neurobiology and
psychology and have covered both the psychotherapeutic and
the psychopharmacologic aspects of mood disorders.
