Description

This new edition of the "Orange Book" has been planned and written by both teachers at the Maudsley and their trainees, resulting in the appearance of many new sections for this third edition. The book contains information on managing difficult interview situations, as well as up-to-date advice about early treatment. Important recommendations from the 1993 Code of Practice have also been incorporated, along with the ICD-10 classification for Mental and Behavioural Disorders.
