Contemporary research on major emotional disorders emphasizes their commonalities rather than their differences. This research continues to lend support for a unified transdiagnostic approach to treatment of these disorders that considers their commonalities and is applicable to a range of emotional problems. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders provides an alternative to disorder-specific treatments of various emotional disorders, designed to be applicable to the wide range of anxiety and other disorders with strong emotional components. The Therapist Guide and accompanying client Workbook present an eight-module therapy program that puts substantial emphasis on emotion-focused approaches, helping clients confront and experience challenging emotions while teaching them how to regulate those emotions. Expanded considerably in this second edition, the volume provides guidance on using the Unified Protocol (UP) to address problems not only with anxiety, but also with depression, eating disorders, non-suicidal self-injury, substance use, and anger. Treatment procedures have been further elucidated and more guidance is provided to practitioners on how to present key treatment concepts. Chapters brand new to this updated edition introduce functional assessment and describe how to provide the UP in a group format, while patient materials have been revised, streamlined, and made more user-friendly.

The Anxiety and Related Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-5: Adult Version (ADIS-5) is a structured interview designed to diagnose current anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, trauma, and related disorders (e.g., somatic symptom, substance use) and to permit differential diagnosis among these disorders according to DSM-5 criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). In most diagnostic sections, the ADIS-5 also provides: (a) dimensional assessment of the key and associated features of disorders; and (b) inquiry to foster the functional analysis of the various disorders (e.g., nature of situations avoided, content of fear cognitions). The ADIS-5 contains screening questions for a variety of other conditions including hoarding disorder, impulse control disorders, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder, dissociative disorders, and psychotic disorders. Other sections of the ADIS-5 include the assessment of episodic and ongoing life stress, medical and psychiatric treatment history, and familial psychiatric history.

In most diagnostic sections, the ADIS-5L also provides: (a) dimensional assessment of the key and associated features of disorders; and (b) inquiry to foster the functional analysis of the various disorders (e.g., nature of situations avoided, content of fear cognitions). The ADIS-5L contains screening questions for a variety of other conditions including hoarding disorder, impulse control disorders, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder, dissociative disorders, and psychotic disorders. Other sections of the ADIS-5L include the assessment of episodic and ongoing life stress, medical and psychiatric treatment history, and familial psychiatric history. The ADIS-5L also contains a Diagnostic Timeline to assist in the determination of the onset, remission, and temporal sequence of current and past disorders.

The Anxiety and Related Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-5 (ADIS-5) Clinician Manual accompanies both the Adult and Lifetime versions of the ADIS-5 Client Interview Schedules. The interview schedules are designed to diagnose anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, trauma, and related disorders (e.g., somatic symptom, substance use) and to permit differential diagnosis among these disorders according to DSM-5 criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The Clinician Manual provides information for the clinician about uses of the ADIS-5, changes introduced in the ADIS-5, coverage of the ADIS-5, organization of diagnostic sections, how to administer the ADIS-5, and more.
