Publisher description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is probably the psychiatric disorder for
which most significant progress has been made on the last 20 years concerning
pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions. A number of studies have
shown that OCD is much more prevalent than previously thought, occurring in an
estimated 2 per cent of the adult population around the world. A serious
discrepancy still exists between research evidence and clinical practice and an
update of this evidence and an international debate on it, as provided by this
volume, is long overdue. This revised edition provides vital information on a
considerably underdiagnosed condition. Provides accompanying commentaries by an
outstanding line up of contributors Covers developments in diagnosis, therapy,
prognosis, economic evaluation and quality improvement Provides an unbiased and
reliable reference point A number of studies have shown that OCD is much more prevalent than
previously thought. This text explores the serious discrepancies between
research evidence and clinical practice concerning obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
