Book Synopsis Psychopharmacology Problem Solving: Principles and Practices to Get It Right by : F. Scott Kraly
Download or read book Psychopharmacology Problem Solving: Principles and Practices to Get It Right written by F. Scott Kraly and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last, a clinician’s guidebook to prescription dilemmas. Psychotropic medications prescribed to treat mental disorders have become increasingly commonplace over the past half century, but the decision-making process for doing so continues to lack real clarity. Clinicians and patients alike face new challenges and questions thanks to the increasing availability of these drugs: When is the right time to prescribe something? Can I predict which drug will help this individual? When do I consider changing a medication? How do I assess whether a drug’s side effects make it worthwhile or not? The response to these challenging questions is not to stop medicating altogether. Psychotropic medications are useful clinical tools. But now more than ever we must consider what it means to medicate judiciously. It is time to slow down, pause, maybe even back up a bit, and reconsider how and why various drugs should be prescribed and monitored for success. The goal of this book is to encourage prudent, informed, and appropriate use of psychotropic medications—to encourage use that is respectful and aware of the strengths and limitations of these drugs. By presenting some fundamental principles of pharmacology as they apply to the clinical treatment of patients, and by offering practical, big-picture prescribing recommendations, Psychopharmacology Problem Solving helps to unravel an increasingly complex decision-making process. The first part of the book offers guidelines to keep in mind when working toward making informed choices regarding drug therapy. The second part of the book offers select examples of behavioral problems and psychological disorders—including addiction, obesity, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and ADHD—to illustrate how the principles or recommendations presented in Part I actually play out. The book concludes by considering the persistent problems and challenges that we face in our current and future use of psychotropic medications. Taking a hard look at the extraordinary and increasing trust clinicians, patients, and families of patients place in drug therapy for mental illness, this book gives readers an evidence-based anchor to help them make the right decisions.

This book was released on 2004-09-14 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOLVING PSYCHIATRIC PUZZLES Please visit this this book’s official website at www.solvingpsychiatricpuzzles.com for more information. Despite revolutionary advances in the field of diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, psychiatry is still shrouded in mystery and those facing mental illness are often stigmatized. What does a psychiatrist do? How are mental illnesses diagnosed and treated? Does mental illness run in families? Do people with mental illness function normally? SOLVING PSYCHIATRIC PUZZLES gives readers an unprecedented look into the entire experience of mental illness – from patient to doctor, from diagnosis to treatment. In this book, Dr. Sethi describes stories of 28 patients with mental disorders, in their own words, and from the hospital and office notes. These stories are universal, and they resonate with patients from all races, classes, genders and socio-economic backgrounds throughout the world. There are no uniform standards for the treatment of mental illness in the United States or abroad. Dr. Sethi presents a model for successful treatment based on the art of empathic listening. The art of listening is the primary tool a psychiatrist has to diagnose and treat mental illness with the help of increasingly complex spectrum of old and new psychiatric medications. Dr. Sethi also describes common psychiatric disorders and psychiatric medications, as well as evolution of history of psychiatry in the United States. Dr. Sethi then invites readers into psychiatric sessions, first hearing patients, then explaining the hospital and office notes taken during sessions so as to educate patients about their diagnosis and rationale for treatment. SOLVING PSYCHIATRIC PUZZLES enables us to better understand mental illness through lucid and powerful descriptions from the perspectives of both patients and clinicians. It reminds us that, despite the lingering stigma of mental illness, 90 percent of all mental illness is treatable like any other physical illness.

Book Synopsis Psychopharmacology: Current Trends by : Daniel E. Casey
Download or read book Psychopharmacology: Current Trends written by Daniel E. Casey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark description by Delay and Deniker in 1952 of chlorpromazine's effect in psychosis suddenly eclipsed all other progress in psychopharmacology over the previous centuries. Since this report 35 years ago, a vast amount of research has contributed to the major advances in treatment that have improved the lives of millions of patients who would otherwise be incapacitated by their psychiatric disorders. This research has also led to valuable new insights into the causes of mental illnesses and the mechanisms of action of therapeutic drugs. However, there is much more work to be done. Thus, it is of great value periodically to assess the present state of knowledge as a first step to charting future directions. This symposium held in Denmark in 1987 covered many critical issues in psychopharmacology. The etiology, pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical aspects, and future directions of research in schizophrenia, affective disorders, anxiety, and dementia are addressed. Several of the problems with current therapeutic agents, such as side effects and limited efficacy, are also reviewed. Preclinical strategies with existing and new animal and computer models are discussed to point the way for developing better psychopharmacologic treatments of all psychiatric disorders.

Book excerpt: Integrating Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology: A Handbook for Clinicians is a practical guide for the growing number of mental-health practitioners searching for information on treatments that combine psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and psychosocial rehabilitation. Research shows that combined approaches are among the most effective ways to treat an increasing number of psychiatric disorders. However, though these combined treatments are becoming the everyday practice of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental-health professionals, identifying the right treatment plan can be notoriously difficult, and clinicians are often left scrambling to answer questions about how to design and customize their treatment strategies. In Integrating Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology, readers will find these questions fully addressed and the answers explained, and they’ll come away from the book with a toolbox full of strategies for helping their patients improve symptoms, achieve remission, and stay well using a combination of drug and psychological treatments.
