The Treatment Of Psychiatric Disorders (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Outdated, particularly with regard to biological treatments (medications, etc.), and keyed to an older version of the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. I (the primary author) can no longer recommend it for use in clinical care. Having said that, the publisher information says: "This third edition of the widely acclaimed, comprehensive volume on the treatment of psychiatric disorders has been greatly expanded and revised to further provide clinicians with a highly practical, current guide to a broad range of treatment approaches for virtually every psychiatric disorder. Where appropriate, the text integrates the various facets of biological, psychological, family, social, and educational interventions that are useful in patient management. As in the two preceding books, this edition is organized for both practicality and accessibility. For each diagnostic category, pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, educational, and other interventions for emergency, acute, and chronic presentations are described; limitations and contraindications discussed; prognosis indicated, and specific treatment recommendations presented. Treatment information is specifically coordinated with the DSM-IV, and the authors' discussion reflects what is currently known about virtually all standard treatments, as well as many of the more esoteric therapies."
