Reviews

Stress Response Syndromes has long been a classic in the field. In this new fifth edition, Mardi Horowitz extends his work in new directions, making this the state-of-the-art, authoritative source for both students and experienced clinicians. -- Glen O. Gabbard, MD, Baylor College of Medicine Mardi Horowitz has pioneered the study and clinical treatment of stress response syndromes. The characterizations, analysis, and formulations articulated in this book clearly point the way to more accurate diagnosis and treatment for individuals who suffer in the wake of psychological traumas. -- Holly G. Prigerson, PhD, Harvard Medical School Harvard Medical School Harvard Medical School Mardi Horowitz has defined our current understanding of the psychological and psychopathologic responses to stress, and has developed the strategy that guides therapeutic intervention in modern psychiatry. In this, the fifth edition of his classic work on the subject, he integrates clinical, epidemiological, and experimental findings, outlines the theory that underlines treatment, and then together with students and colleagues provides models of therapy for patients with different personality types along with detailed clinical vignettes. Stress and response are increasingly viewed as fundamental concepts in psychiatry, and Horowitz's contributions provide the essential foundation for understanding and treating stress and response syndromes. -- Robert Michels, MD, Walsh McDermott University and Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research
