i bought this book after some good reviews and when i received it i went through it quickly and i discovered that it is a brilliant book. as i am a psychiatrist training primary health care physicians it is perfect for my workshops and i have already finished reading it. the best part its clarity, coulourfulness, being to the point and there is everything a clinician in primary health setting needs. i loved the postor and the internet support. i have already recommended it to aother physician who deals with mental illness and hoping to distributed during my workshops, this book comes with very high recommendation.
As a psychologist who has worked in a inpatient mental health facility, this book is an invaluble resource for the practioner in the Healing Arts. This book is well written, easy to read and understand with great information. It has enough medical information to assist the non-medical person in understanding how the medications work. There is also some good information for the mental health clinician to utilize on each of the disorders covered. This is a must have book for anyone's library!
I'm really glad I got the book. I love the screening tools, and have found several that will augment the ones I already use in my clinical practice.I'm planning on using the depression chapter to teach the primary care docs and nurses at the a medical clinic how to screen for depression among our patients. It'll be helpful for lectures that I give to other physicians, psychologists and psychology students. Most importantly, it's such a pleasure to read a well designed, graphically attractive textbook. It's full of sensible approaches to evaluating psychiatric patients.
As a primary care practitioner I see a great deal of mental illness and always struggled with this until recently -- when I read this book. It's well written, pracitical and exactly what primary care practitioners need to effectively treat psychiatric illness. You can tell this book was written by primary care practitioners who also happen to be psychiatrists. It's not a book written by psychiatrists for primary care practitioners, but instead it is written by people who seem to truly understand what the primary care setting is all about. I imagine this book would also be a nice overview for mental health practitioners. It's a MUST READ!!!
