Publisher's Synopsis
This book presents an objective, comprehensive description of problems, with an emphasis on observable behavior and self-report emotional states. Describing 18 case studies, many of them new, the book shows clinical problems in their full complexity - from initial manifestations through the full course of treatment. It offers examples both of specific disorders, like schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, etc, and problems other than classic symptoms, for example, marital disorders. Also included in the book are outlines and a discussion on alternative conceptual approaches. The book describes treatments that were employed to change specific problems, and discusses each case in relation to the relevant research literature.
