Many practitioners are hesitant to treat mental health issues in
older adults, believing that special expertise is required to do so
effectively. DSM-5 Pocket Guide for Elder Mental Health is based on
the premise that all practitioners can acquire the confidence
needed to work with older patients. Primary care practitioners,
clinical psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric residents,
and resident fellows are just some of the professionals who will
benefit from memorable cases that illustrate how the presented
information can quickly be applied to the reader's own patients,
handy mnemonics that make complex diagnostic information easy to
commit to memory, and informative tables that help readers easily
locate DSM-5 information for billing purposes. All of the
information presented in this guide is grounded in real-world
advice, so readers can be confident that the information provided
is practical and clinically based as they learn how to * Perform
15- and 30-minute diagnostic interviews* Recognize the main
elements of the most common mental health disorders* Reach an
initial diagnosis* Engage patients in psychosocial,
psychotherapeutic, and psychopharmacological treatment plans and
work with caregivers* Know when to refer patients for additional
subspecialty mental health treatment. With expert consensus
threaded throughout, DSM-5 Pocket Guide for Elder Mental Health is
the ideal companion for trainees and seasoned professionals alike,
who will find the thoughtful, practical information they need to
efficiently and effectively employ DSM-5 as part of comprehensive
diagnostic interview and treatment planning for their older
patients.
