This comprehensive text-noted for its facility in integrating
principles into practice--prepares social work students to play a
key role within an interdisciplinary health care team: that of
counseling clients who are taking medications used to treat common
mental health conditions. The third edition has been fully revised
to include new medications and reflect changes resulting from the
publication of the DSM 5. Sample treatment plans, case examples,
and a full glossary of medications have been updated, and the
addition of a comprehensive Instructor's Manual further enhances
the text's value. Also included is information on prescription drug
abuse, expanded discussions of psychopharmacological considerations
related to gender and culture, a new section on medical marijuana,
pregnant women, and new content related to suicide warnings and
internet availability and electronic records. The third edition
also features a discussion of potential interactions with
medications used to treat chronic conditions and emphasizes
professional collaboration. The text is replete with guidance on
common medicine-related issues social workers encounter in
practice, including identifying potentially dangerous drug
interactions and adverse side effects, improving medication
compliance, recognizing the warning signs of drug dependence, and
understanding how psychopharmacology can work in conjunction with
psychosocial interventions. The role of the social worker taking
into account treatment planning is stressed. The text also
addresses the particular needs of children, older adults, and
pregnant women and the treatment of specific mental health
conditions.
