An outstading resource for mental health professionals

This is a wonderful book. The authors are clearly excellent clinicians who have made the DSM-IV accessible to mental health providers. Their critique of the history and development of the DSM is suberb, and their chapter on cross-cultural assessment is a gem. A must read for all mental health providers.
