The Handbook of Assessment and Treatment Planning for Psychological Disorders, edited by Martin M. Antony, offers an authoritative clinical reference designed for practitioners and students alike. This third edition, thoroughly revised with 50% new content, provides essential tools and strategies for assessing clients’ symptoms, generating accurate diagnoses, planning appropriate treatments, and monitoring progress effectively.

Unlike other assessment texts, this handbook is structured around specific clinical problems, making it easier to identify the most suitable measures. Key features include comparative tables of relevant measures, sample forms, and illustrative case examples. Each chapter also addresses practical considerations for both primary and managed care settings.

New to this edition are chapters on emerging topics such as assessments of well-being and transdiagnostic approaches, along with updated content on eating disorders, personality disorders, and insomnia. The text has been comprehensively revised to incorporate DSM-5 diagnostic updates, new instruments, recent research findings, and enhanced focus on transdiagnostic concerns.

With 638 pages of detailed guidance, this handbook is an invaluable resource for mental health professionals seeking to enhance their assessment and treatment planning skills.
