Abstract
This chapter describes general guidelines for the treatment of affective disorders. It is thus more specific than Chap. 9 (Vol. 1, Part 2), which concerns the general principles of treatment in psychiatry, and more general than the discussion of specific methods of treatment for the affective disorders found in the following chapters of this volume (Part 1, Chaps. 23–25 and Chap. 31). The aim here is to delineate the role of various forms of treatment in the overall treatment plan, with an emphasis on common, overarching principles.
