The purpose of this book is to demystify the evaluation and
management of common psychological disorders and psychosocial
issues which impact all realms of medical and mental health
practice. These types of issues are often seen as "medical
quicksand" by treating professionals, employers, and insurers
alike. Consequently, there is a system-wide avoidance of these
disorders that significantly increase medical and disability costs.
However, there is a considerable cost to individual and society as
well in terms of the reduction in the quality of life of the
individual and the high costs associated with chronic use of
medical resources.
It is essential to note the complexity of the psychiatric and
psychosocial disability conundrum. This dilemma is not limited
solely to short-term, minor problems but leach into the full
spectrum of disability systems: private insurance, disability
insurance, and federal programs for disabled persons. This book
will provide innovative tools to confidently navigate the
disability process by implementing, for the first time, true
objective information coupled with the state-of-the-art
evidence-based research. Thus, all individuals involved in the
psychiatric disability process will be able to properly manage the
process, optimize the treatment for an optimal outcome and avoid
iatrogenic disability. In particular, the book will provide a clear
evidence-based guidance for the evaluation and treatment process
not only for individuals with obvious psychological problems, but
for symptomatic individual with no discernable etiology or who
simply never seem to get well.
