This volume continues the ninth-edition work from Chapter 22 rather than starting with psychiatric foundations and general diagnostic assessment. Benjamin J. Sadock, Virginia A. Sadock, and Pedro Ruiz edit coverage that includes impulse-control, adjustment, and personality disorders, together with psychosomatic medicine and relational concerns.
Psychotherapies, child and adolescent psychiatry, lifespan issues, and special populations form further parts of the volume. Its scope suits psychiatrists, residents, psychologists, and researchers seeking these sections of the reference. Volume I is separate and contains the foundational sciences, examination and diagnosis, and many major disorder chapters. Readers should therefore treat this listing as a specific half of the two-volume edition.
Kaplan & Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, Ninth Edition, Volume II carries the edited reference from its later chapters onward. It covers personality, impulse-control, and adjustment disorders, psychosomatic medicine, psychotherapies, child and adolescent psychiatry, and special populations, serving advanced psychiatry readers who already hold the foundational first volume.
This volume picks up where the first half leaves off, so it does not begin with psychiatric foundations or general diagnostic assessment. Benjamin J. Sadock, Virginia A. Sadock, and Pedro Ruiz edit sections on impulse-control, adjustment, and personality disorders, along with psychosomatic medicine and relational concerns. Psychotherapies, child and adolescent psychiatry, lifespan issues, and special populations make up further parts. The scope suits psychiatrists, residents, psychologists, and researchers who need these particular sections. Volume I is sold separately and holds the basic sciences, examination and diagnosis, and many major disorder chapters, so the listing should be read as one half of a two-volume edition.
Personality disorders receive extended reference treatment, covering how these enduring patterns are described and distinguished clinically. The material assumes readers already know general psychopathology and want detailed coverage of this group. It is intended for consultation rather than a first introduction.
Impulse-control and adjustment disorders form a further section of the volume. The text addresses these conditions within the reference format, connecting description and clinical consideration. Readers can locate focused discussion without revisiting basic foundations.
Psychosomatic medicine links psychiatric and medical concerns, and relational issues appear alongside it. The volume treats this interface as a distinct area requiring its own coverage. It suits readers working where mental health and general medicine meet.
Psychotherapies are surveyed as a major division of the reference. The text addresses therapeutic approaches for readers who need orientation across modalities. Coverage is reference-level, assuming prior clinical grounding.
Child and adolescent psychiatry forms its own substantial part. The volume addresses developmental and clinical concerns specific to younger patients, extending the reference beyond adult practice. This section is useful for clinicians who work across the lifespan.
Lifespan issues and special populations close the volume's scope. These sections address groups and life stages that require adapted clinical attention. Together with the earlier parts, they complete this half of the two-volume reference.
Psychiatrists, residents, psychologists, and researchers who need the later sections of the ninth-edition reference and already have access to the foundational first volume.
