Cognitive Dimensions Of Major Depressive Disorder (Oxford Psychiatry Library)

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder that consists of a variety of symptom clusters. While the traditional model of depression implicates mood as the primary symptom cluster, a recently published conceptual understanding of depression has been extended to consider cognitive function as a key symptom dimension in MDD. Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library series, this handbook will provide clinicians with an overview of the clinical characteristics, assessment, and treatment of cognitive dimensions of MDD. It offers extended and novel diagnostic and treatment approaches ranging from pharmacological to psychological interventions targeting those dimensions of depression. Chapters will cover state-of-the-art developments on the defintion, epidemiology, and clinical assessment of treatment resistance before then covering the pharmacological, physical, and psychological management of treatment resistance. This book is an invaluable resource and quick reference for busy clinicians wanting to expand their knowledge of current research. It will appeal to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, trainees, and other health care practitioners who encounter patients with MDD. -- back cover.
