| Summary: | This is the first book devoted solely to the Hamilton scales, the rating scales used most frequently to measure the outcome of antidepressive and antianxiety therapies. The text gives a basic description of the scales and discusses their use in clinical research, with contributions by psychiatrists from a broad spectrum of European countries, from WHO studies, and from the USA. The discussions cover the problem of translating scales to different languages; inter-observer-reliability; applicability in hospitals, outpatient clinics and general practice; validity; and comparisons with other rating instruments. Papers on the life of Max Hamilton are included. |
