Rezensionen

"After all, this book is recommended for the young
psychiatrist, who wants to read an easy introduction to the
fascinating world of treatment of resistant
depression." (Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 9
November 2013)

"This is a monograph, which could be of great interest to
psychiatrists managing patients with TRD. The chapters are written
clearly, and the references are comprehensive and
up-to-date." (Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical
& Experimental, 6 November 2013)

"The editors should be congratulated for accomplishing the
amazing feat of presenting so much information in such a compact
book. With an investment of just a few hours, readers can be
updated on a very complicated subject . . . The editors should be
commended on detailing a variety of treatment options, including
nonpharmacological options, which other books fail to
emphasize." (Doody's, 23 August 2013)
