内容説明

This work is intended as a valuable resource not just for medical students, but for anyone entering the mental health care field. The clear and readable text is for nurses, social workers, psychologists and medical students who are taking a first course in psychiatry or doing a first clinical clerkship, and others trying to make sense of their first encounters with people who are emotionally disturbed. The book presents the basic facts without jargon and provides an introduction to topics such as schizophrenia, electroconvulsive therapy, transference, and tranquilizers. The chapters can be read and referred to quickly making it a useful resource for busy students who are in the midst of a clinical rotation. It is also a companion to a first course in psychopathology. Throughout this book, the author helps students to focus on themselves as well as on their patients. Section 1 is designed to offer basic skills with which to approach the diagnostic evaluation. Section II includes the syndromes students will most likely encounter while working in outpatient and inpatient mental health facilities.
