Gabbard’s Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders, Fifth Edition
The definitive treatment textbook in psychiatry, this fifth edition of Gabbard’s Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders has been thoroughly restructured to reflect the new DSM-5 categories, preserving its value as a state-of-the-art resource and increasing its utility in the field.
