Today& rsquo;s rapidly changing mental health care environment
has created both complex challenges and unique opportunities for
the community psychiatrist. "Practicing Psychiatry in the
Community: A Manual" is an indispensable resource for practitioners
and psychiatric residents. Clinically active psychiatrists will
find this manual invaluable as they adopt new roles in this dynamic
and exciting field.
This comprehensive work by leading experts in the field
addresses the major issues currently facing community
psychiatrists. It even includes a user-friendly guide to the
development of a research program in a community setting.
Organized into three main sections, this manual provides
essential information on treatment settings, target populations,
and special topics in the community psychiatry domain. The
Treatment Continuum explores the varied environments in which
community psychiatric services may be offered, including outpatient
treatment, crisis resolution services, and psychiatric
rehabilitation programs. Populations such as mentally disordered
children, adolescents, and the elderly; HIV-infected patients; the
homeless mentally ill; the developmentally disabled; chemically
dependent patients; dually diagnosed patients; violent patients;
and the chronically mentally ill have unique needs requiring
skilled clinical care. The Target Populations section provides the
community psychiatrist with useful and practical guidelines for the
treatment of each of these patient groups. The Special Topics
section ushers the community psychiatrist into the era of
contemporary community psychiatric practice with vital information
on emerging issues like cultural diversity, the principles
ofeffective collaboration with advocacy and family/self-help
groups, the role of the multidisciplinary team, and legal and
training issues.
