Book excerpt: Mental health professionals often must make judgments or decisions involving vital matters. Is an individual likely to act violently? Has a child been sexually abused? Is a police officer fit to carry a gun? An explosion of research in clinical and cognitive psychology provides practical means for enhancing the accuracy of clinical decision making and prediction and thereby improving outcomes and the quality of care. Unfortunately, this research has not been broadly disseminated in the mental health field. The book is designed to familiarize readers with essential findings from decision science and its practical, immediate applications in the mental health field.

Book excerpt: "A client facing very difficult circumstances develops suicidal ideation and comes to you, their therapist, for help. Your immediate tasks are to ascertain the risk of suicide and to intervene as needed. Suppose the client is facing a challenging and troubling situation at work that could go very wrong. The client has a history of sexual abuse and intermittent loss of anger control, although her self-control has improved considerably as treatment has progressed. The client works at a small, family-owned company. Her boss, although usually supportive, has made a number of insensitive comments. These comments have triggered powerful emotional reactions and thoughts of self-destructive actions. The client, who desperately needs the job but finds the situation intolerable, has made a firm decision to talk with her boss. The concern is that the boss will respond badly, the client in turn will respond with uncontrolled anger, and things will go downhill rapidly from there, potentially eventuating in a suicide attempt"--

Download or read book Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology written by Klaus F Helm and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents both common and uncommon dermatologic differential diagnoses in a problem-oriented manner. Unlike other atlases that catalogue diseases, it stresses the viewpoint of the clinician. A repeatable and discerning approach to evaluating skin diseases is the unifying theme. Algorithms, clinical photographs, and tables that compare diseases present specific points important in arriving at the correct diagnosis. To facilitate accurate diagnoses, several different approaches have been used: the reader who knows the differential diagnosis in question can go directly to the appropriate table or discussion as appropriate. If the diagnosis is unclear, possible diagnoses can be obtained by following the algorithms presented at the beginning of each chapter. In each chapter, tables of differential diagnoses for different types of eruptions or neoplasms are included with accompanying illustrative photographs. The aetiology, important clinical features, and therapy for each disease are succinctly presented in the last section of each chapter. New for this edition, the final chapter provides a series of self-assessment cases, including explanations at each stage of the diagnostic process, with which the reader can test their knowledge.
