Understanding Drug Treatment in Mental Health Care
註釋Mental health professionals and general practitioners need to know how, why and when drugs are best used alongside other treatments in mental health care. For those who are not psychiatrists, or specialists in psychopharmacology, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with developments in drugs and their use in practice. This book provides a concise and accessible review of the principles of drug treatment and shows how this is integrated with social and psychological aspects of mental health care. The authors offer a problem-oriented approach, with chapters devoted to anxiety, depression and other major disorders, as well as an up-to-date account of how drugs affect the body and how drug effects can be examined. Psychologists, psychotherapists, nurses and general practitioners will welcome this guide to the nature of drugs and their use in up-to-date, integrated treatments in mental health care.
