Download or read book Clinical Manual of Couples and Family Therapy written by Gabor I. Keitner and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clinical Manual of Couples and Family Therapy presents a conceptual framework for engaging families of psychiatric patients. It outlines practical, evidence-based family therapy skills that make it easier for clinicians to effectively integrate families into the treatment process. Moreover, it reestablishes the role of the psychiatrist as the leader of the team of professionals providing mental health care to patients in need. The underlying assumption in this concise manual is that most psychiatric symptoms or conditions evolve in a social context, and families can be useful in identifying the history, precipitants, and likely future obstacles to the management of presenting problems. The book clarifies the clinical decision-making process for establishing family involvement in patient care in different clinical settings, and it outlines distinct steps in family assessment and treatment within a biopsychosocial organizing framework that can be applied to all families, regardless of the patient's presenting problems. The book's approach is based on a broad model of family functioning, which provides a multidimensional description of families and has validated instruments to assess family functioning from both internal and external perspectives. Unique features and benefits of the manual include: A focus on one consistent model of assessment and treatment that can be applied to a wide range of psychiatric conditions and clinical settings Numerous case examples, tables, and charts throughout the text to further highlight the material A summary of key concepts at the end of each chapter A companion DVD, keyed to discussion in the text, that demonstrates how to perform a family assessment and treatment All psychiatrists should be proficient in assessing the social and familial context in which a patient's psychiatric illness evolves. The Clinical Manual of Couples and Family Therapy is a practical guide designed to facilitate a clinician's ability to evaluate and treat couples and families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may be the best medical investment you make for your family. Self-reliance in home prescribing is the goal of this acute care manual. This pictorial guide to homeopathic care is the first of its kind. While homeopathy has been around for over 200 years and there are many other first aid manuals and field guides available, this book takes the work to a new level. The most complicated task for the lay person in homeopathy is how to find a remedy for specific therapeutic indications in a short and reliable way. Here the content is laid out in three simple sections:1. Philosophy2. Six therapeutic modules3. Materia Medica (MM)The color-coded references in the therapeutic modules and associated remedies help the reader navigate quickly and efficiently between content towards the desired goal of finding a remedy. The artfully designed layout of the Materia Medica pages capture the basics of confirmed clinical symptoms, description of the remedies and their therapeutic indications. Each therapeutic module gives a holistic overview of the conditions a hand and extensive differentials between the possible applicable remedies. Here the text is designed to hold the readers hand as they sit by the bed side of their sick children, helping them to recover their health in a fast and gentle way. The success of years of clinical practice, attending to those late night calls of infants with high fevers, whole families stricken with the flu, and/or mental and emotional crises, have served to be the foundation upon which this book is crafted. The text, which has been shaped from the simple of language of conversations with mothers, not only explains how homeopathy works and what to expect on the way to cure, but exposes the depth of possibilities of interconnection between this system of healing for the individual and our relationship to the world we live, and through insight into the curative potential of the natural substances found on this planet. Enjoy!
