(APPI), the world's premier publisher of books, journals, and multi-media on psychiatry. Each book offers new and innovative perspectives to mental health professionals.

Each book can be viewed on APPI's Web site under the following titles:
Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry and Pocket Guideline for the Assessment and Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.

Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry
Edited by Peter Manu, M.D., Raymond E. Suarez, M.D., and Barbara J. Barnett, M.D.

Every practitioner today will welcome this book as the first realistic, evidence-based overview of medicine for psychiatrists in training or practice. It addresses the lack of empirical data showing how the type of medical knowledge acquired through traditional psychiatric residency training can be used in the psychiatric setting. This book reflects the realities confronting clinicians working in self-standing inpatient psychiatric settings and is an invaluable resource for clinicians today as they pursue the complex practice of psychiatry in the 21st century.
