Recenzje

"…A nice balance between a review of what the evidence shows and practical advice and suggestions based on that review. It also focuses on difficult to treat cases, situations where combining medications or trying newer somatic therapies might be in order…a very digestible review of what is considered state-of-the-art in the management of major depression."—Doody’s Reviews (for the First Edition)
