Book Finding the Right Treatment

Download or read book Finding the Right Treatment written by Jacqueline Krohn and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the strengths and weaknesses of both regular and alternative medicine, Krohn and Taylor provide a reference work and a good basis for discussion groups. No single system of medicine can give patients all they need, they maintain, in terms of the best physician, most appropriate treatment program, and worthiest preventive measures for specific conditions. Krohn and Taylor offer practical advice for finding a physician or surgeon who will meet an individual's needs and lifestyle. They discuss advantages and disadvantages of several medical philosophies and their related treatments; in an especially helpful section, arranged by disease, they go more deeply into differences in practice. Prevention is a major theme throughout. The chapter on vaccination includes much helpful information and raises many thought-provoking questions; it should prove one of the most often consulted parts of the book. Krohn and Taylor conclude with brief but graphic descriptions of two groups of Pima Indians to point out how different lifestyles can have opposite results even for people who share the same background. - William Beatty; 412p-

Book Guidelines for the Systematic Treatment of the Depressed Patient

Download or read book Guidelines for the Systematic Treatment of the Depressed Patient written by Larry E. Beutler and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2000 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From initial consultation to termination of treatment, psychologists and other mental health practitioners make a series of crucial decisions to determine the progress and therapy of the patient. These decisions have varied implications such as the clinical course of the patient, the efficacy and efficiency of the treatment, and the cost of the sessions. Thus, the decisions made by mental health professionals need to be accurate and consistent, respecting a series of guidelines that will ultimately benefit the patient. This is the first in a series of guidebooks that is designed to do just that by providing practitioners with some structure in the development of treatment programs. Previous guidelines have been based on consensus panels of experts or on the opinions of membership groups, causing guidelines to be very far off from the findings of empirical research. Here, guidelines are presented in terms of treatment principles rather than in terms of specific treatment models or theories, and they do not favor one theory of psychotherapy over another. Instead, they define strategies and considerations that can be woven into comprehensive treatment programs. The entire series of guidebooks will cover numerous topics, including anxiety disorders, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and treatment of serious mental disorders. This volume will cover in detail the nature of depression, issues in treatment research, contemporary treatments, and implications for education and training. It is ideal for postgraduates and professionals in the mental health field and is intended to provide important background on treatment of non-bipolar depressive disorders.

Book Get the Diagnosis Right

Download or read book Get the Diagnosis Right written by Jerome S. Blackman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Jerome Blackman, author of 101 Defenses: How the Mind Shields Itself, has once again crafted an extraordinarily user-friendly book that demonstrates to all readers, from trainees to advanced analysts, the process of diagnosing mental disturbance. Get the Diagnosis Right provides a systematic method for accurately determining whether a person suffering with mental problems needs medication, supportive/cognitive, dynamic, and/or psychoanalytic treatment. Amalgamating the most useful ideas from general psychiatry, cognitive psychology, and modern psychoanalytic theory, Dr. Blackman guides readers who prescribe treatment for mental disturbances. The book also serves as a check for those who are considering what type of mental health professional they should be consulting. After reading this book, you will no longer have to guess whether a depressed patient should obtain medication, supportive therapy, insight therapy, or some mixture of the three; or question how to conduct an initial interview and assessment. Written in language that is clear but not simplistic, this book goes far beyond other diagnostic manuals.

Download or read book Seeking Safety written by Lisa M. Najavits and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual presents the first empirically studied, integrative treatment approach developed specifically for co-occurring PTSD and substance abuse. For persons with this prevalent and difficult-to-treat dual diagnosis, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety--to work toward discontinuing substance use, letting go of dangerous relationships, and gaining control over such extreme symptoms as dissociation and self-harm. The manual is divided into 25 specific units or topics, addressing a range of different cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains. Each topic provides highly practical tools and techniques to engage patients in treatment; teach "safe coping skills" that apply to both disorders; and restore ideals that have been lost, including respect, care, protection, and healing. Structured yet flexible, topics can be conducted in any order and in a range of different formats and settings. The volume is designed for maximum ease of use with a large-size format and helpful reproducible therapist sheets and handouts, which purchasers can also download and print at the companion webpage. See also the author's self-help guide Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both, an ideal client recommendation.
