註釋Never before has such a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art psychiatric knowledge and clinical guidance been assembled in one source. 174 leading experts describe psychiatry as it is practiced today. The process of psychiatric treatment brings together a knowledge and skill base from several sources - the doctor patient relationship, appropriate diagnosis, and how to develop a treatment plan based on a comprehensive understanding of the etiologic and pathophysiologic mechanisms that underlie the disorder and a comprehensive knowledge of the range of appropriate treatment interventions. The overriding philosophical approach of this text comes from a belief that a bipsychosocial model of understanding psychiatric illness is the most comprehensive andintegrative approach possible.

  • Applies a psychosocial model in its examination of psychiatric illness.
  • Offers treatment guidelines for handling patients who are refractory or unresponsive to initial treatment approaches.
