Description and Table of Contents
Description
This accessible and authoritative handbook gathers together thirteen clinically relevant areas in the treatment of those psychiatry patients who are problematic. These topics cover a necessarily wide range, including substance abuse. This book is written by an internationally distinguished team and clarifies the diagnostic and treatment issues, presenting both general principles and more detailed management plans. This book will provide its readers with advice on how to deal with the many difficult situations they face increasingly frequently, all of which cause major problems in treatment. As the questions involved are often controversial as well as complex, this book will be of particular interest to all clinical psychiatrists and will become an essential reference source.
