Description
Systematic Psychiatric Evaluation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Applying The Perspectives of Psychiatry offers a unique approach to psychiatric practice and research. By considering four key aspects - disease, dimensional, behavior, and lifestory - clinicians can improve their ability to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients. This book uses real-life case histories to illustrate the benefits of this approach, including its application in diagnosing conditions such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, and depression. A unique exercise is also included, which simulates the Perspectives approach side by side with traditional methods, highlighting its advantages. Featuring a foreword from Drs Paul R McHugh and Phillip R Slavney, who pioneered the Perspectives approach, this book is suitable for both psychiatric training programs and practicing mental health clinicians.
