The fifth volume in Stahl's Case Studies series by Schwartz and Radonjic describes the approach, diagnosis, and treatment of people with psychiatric disorders. Demonstrating core principles that allow clinicians to individualize treatment and aim for the best outcomes. Essential reading for mental health professionals and students.
This new volume in Stahl's Case Studies series presents the continuation of Dr. Schwartz's previous successful collection of psychopharmacology cases from Volume 2, this time in collaboration with Dr. Radonjic and editing from Dr. Stahl. Here they illustrate common questions and dilemmas routinely encountered in psychopharmacologic day-to-day practice. Following a consistent user-friendly layout, each case features icons, tips, and questions about diagnosis and management as it progresses over time, a pre-case self-assessment question, followed by the correct answers at the end. Formatted in alignment with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology's maintenance of psychiatry specialty certification, cases address issues in a relevant and understandable way. Covering a wide-ranging and representative selection of clinical scenarios, each case is followed through the complete clinical encounter, from start to resolution, acknowledging the complications, issues, decisions, twists, and turns along the way. This is psychiatry in real life.
Recenzijas
'Stahl's series of books are staples in the training of the modern psychiatrist, and for good reason. This book is representative of why. The cases are clear, contemporary, and up to date this book is an excellent way to test one's knowledge, learn new approaches, and continue to understand the complex mechanisms of psychiatric medications.'
