A directory for patients, families, paraprofessionals, and professionals in the field. Early sections offer chapters overviewing specific disorders and treatment options, list organizational, print, electronic, and media resources, and describe national associations and federal and state agencies. Later sections provide data for professionals on accreditation and quality assurance, print and electronic resources, training, and conferences, and list products and services that support clinical management of mental disorders, such as databases, software companies, and information services. A final section lists drug companies by both company name and drug name. Includes disorder, entry name, and geographic indexes.

This edition has been broadly expanded to offer the most comprehensive information covering the field of behavioural health, with detailed, comprehensive and critical information for not only those challenged with a mental disorder, their family and support network, but also for paraprofessionals and professionals in the field.
