Recenzje

'This highly readable book has long been needed. It is an essential reference for improving clinical thinking, whether you are a physician or a psychologist. It helps building unitary perspectives that may shed light on phenomena that would otherwise remain scattered in the patient's story. What is shared by syndromes such as anxiety, panic, phobic disturbances and irritability may be as important as the differences between them and conditions that are apparently comorbid could be part of the same general neurotic syndrome.' Giovanni A. Fava, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, NY, USA
