Selecting Effective Treatments: A Comprehensive, Systematic Guide to Treating Mental Disorders 
"The clear linkage of complex research-based diagnoses with practical therapeutic interventions is best spelled out in this book! There is nothing better to read on this subject -- a must for all professionals and students in the mental health field."-- Fred Bemak, associate professor, wellness and human services, School of Physical Activity and Educational Services, The Ohio State University
This thoroughly revised and updated version of the classic book, Selecting Effective Treatments presents a comprehensive, systematic, and research-based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of all the major mental disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A new chapter contains current information on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.
Reviews
Seligman's work is research-based, yet practically oriented. The approach is a cogent, focused, rubric for diagnosis and treatment planning. As a practioner-to-be,this book has been of enormous benefit because it "ties it all together."
Professor Seligman begins each section with a description of the disorder, then gives an overview of the characteristics of people who typically present with the disorder; she also gives an "overview of teh qualities of style and personality that typify clinicians likely to be successful in treating the disorder, along with a review of the research on treatment and information on the prognosis." One work that does all of this? You can't go wrong.
