This book is specific to clinical trial issues in psychiatric research, and comes from a task force in Bipolar Research. The contents herein were identified as the most major issues in psychiatric research. Authored by international contributors from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups, this book summarizes problems in clinical design and the results of same, and whether and how the results can be applied into clinical practice. * Edited by highly respected experts in psychiatric clinical trials* Encompasses issues in the academic, industry, and regulatory worlds* Includes clinical design and analysis * Encompasses translation of research findings into practice
