ESSENTIALS PSYCHIATRY PRI CARE BEHAVIORAL HLTH MED SETTING
For the first time, a psychiatry textbook that presents behavioral disorders from the perspective of what is seen in medical settings
Published in partnership with the American College of Physicians, the goal of this much-needed text is not to make psychiatrists out of medical clinicians, but rather, to help clinicians manage common behavioral conditions that most often present in a medical setting. The authors focus on integrating comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions which requires recognizing the prominent role played by physical symptoms.
The combined experiences in primary care of the authors --- who specialize in both general internal medicine and psychiatry --- provide the perfect background for a book of this nature. Having trained medical students, as well as internal and family medicine residents since 1986, their experience and research demonstrates the information they outline is effective and associated with improved mental and physical health outcomes.
Salient Features
- Although behavioral disorders (mental and substance abuse problems) are the most common problems medical clinicians will face, they are not trained for behavioral care – proving the need for this book
