Description
The Family in Clinical Psychiatry breaks new ground by considering the role of family factors in psychiatric illness. This is not another book on family therapy but a comprehensive biopsychosocial account of how family issues are relevant to the assessment and management of every psychiatric illness. This book serves as a scholarly and authoritative guide for the clinician facilitating an integrated approach to psychiatric illness. This is the first book to acknowledge the importance of the family in clinical psychiatry and is the standard reference for all psychiatrists and other allied health professionals and trainees.
