Descripción: Karger «With its first volume published in 1917, this series has served to chart some of the main developments of contemporary psychiatry. Throughout these years, individual volumes have outlined the specific problems and controversies which have characterized the growth of psychiatry and have reflected a broadening acceptance of its methods and applications. Recent volumes have been distinguished by their close concern with practical psychiatry, including concepts of classification and therapy, precision of description and classification, differential diagnosis, and critical evaluation of methodologies.» ISSN 0067-8147
