Approach to the Psychiatric Patient
American Psychiatric Association Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-61537-002-3 (ISBN)
The text possesses many useful attributes for the reader:
• The more than 100 essays were written by a broad range of specialists, each with particular expertise in their aspect of the case, and the resulting commentary is focused and concise.
• In addition to the case and discussions, each chapter offers an overview and summary points designed to facilitate further consideration of the patient and clinical situation and to focus on the key points.
• The book's unique structure enhances its flexibility, allowing the reader to read a case and accompanying essays straight through, or to pick and choose as the need or whim arises.
• The cases' clinical settings are diverse, ranging from inpatient hospitalizations and emergency room evaluations to outpatient assessments and long-term psychotherapies, maximizing relevance and resonance.
• Each essay has its own bibliography, which provides both rigorous documentation and additional sources for more exploration of the topic.
Approach to the Psychiatric Patient: Case-Based Essays distinguishes itself from prior texts in both the richness of its cases and the ingenuity of its format, and its multidisciplinary wisdom and insight will be appreciated by a wide range of readers.
John W. Barnhill, M.D., is Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Professor of Medical Ethics in Clinical Medicine, DeWitt Wallace Senior Scholar, and Vice Chair for Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine.
