The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Anxiety, Trauma, and OCD-Related Disorders supersedes the Textbook of Anxiety Disorders, released more than a decade ago, and is the first edition to be written in the context of DSM-5, a fact that is reflected in the new title as well as in the content, both revised and new. For example, two newly added chapters explore the phenomenology and treatment of acute and persistent grief, a classification that did not exist when the previous edition was published. The structure of the book has also changed, with sections reconfigured to better capture the current scholarship of and treatment options for these disorders. Finally, the majority of contributors are new to this edition, offering perspectives that are as contemporary as they are authoritative. Despite these changes, the book's objective remains the same: to offer both clinicians and researchers a single-volume resource that covers not only progress in clinical interventions but also the latest advances in theoretical knowledge.
The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Anxiety, Trauma, and OCD-Related Disorders mirrors the evolution in understanding and treating these disorders and is itself a leap forward in educating and informing clinicians about this critically important topic.
