Reviews and Endorsements

'We need to change our views about antisocial personality disorder. From being the ultimate diagnosis of exclusion to a condition requiring informed sympathetic management is a great leap. This guideline is one of the first to plot the way forward, and although we have far to go the path ahead is clear.'
- Peter Tyrer, Professor of Community Psychiatry, Imperial College, London.

NICE Mental Health Guidelines
These guidelines from NICE set out clear recommendations, based on the best available evidence, for health care professionals on how to work with and implement physical, psychological and service-level interventions for people with various mental health conditions.

The book contains the full guidelines that cannot be obtained in print anywhere else. It brings together all of the evidence that led to the recommendations made, detailed explanations of the methodology behind their preparation, plus an overview of the condition covering detection, diagnosis and assessment, and the full range of treatment and care approaches.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the data used as evidence, including:
* Included and excluded studies.
* Profile tables that summarise both the quality of the evidence and the results of the evidence synthesis.
* All meta-analytical data, presented as forest plots.
* Detailed information about how to use and interpret forest plots.
