This may be the single most important book you ever buy during your
medical training. Rotations come and go, exams come and go, but
regardless of specialty, patient-care will be at the heart of your
practice. It is no exaggeration to say that motivational
interviewing (MI) has transformed the way doctors engage with
patients, families, and colleagues alike. MI is among the most
powerful tools available to promote behavior change in patients. In
an age of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease,
obesity), behavior change is no longer limited to substance use or
the field of psychiatry - maladaptive choices and behaviors that
negatively impact health outcomes are rampant. There is an
explosion of research projects using MI or adaptations of MI in the
behavioral health medicine field in the past decade.
Hospitalizations can't make people change. How marvelous is it that
an evidence-based health behavior change approach (MI) can help
people change the outcomes of their illnesses and the course of
their lives. This therapeutic approach is not a form of
psychotherapy and is not the stuff of cobwebs and old leather
couches.MI is readily integrated into regular ward rounds and
office visits and provides an effective and efficient approach to
patients clinical encounters. Written by experts in the field and
medical trainees across medicine, this is the first MI guide of its
kind. Its explores how MI enhances contact with patients from every
level of training, following an accessible, succinct approach. This
book covers the application of MI method and skills into practice
and also includes numerous clinical scenarios, personal reflections
and online animated clinical vignettes (video clips) that share the
challenges and successes the authors have focused. Furthermore this
book is endorsed by the pioneers of MI: William R. Miller &
Stephen Rollnick.
Millions of individuals diagnosed with severe mental illness also
suffer from an equally powerful substance use disorder. If you or
someone you love has been diagnosed with dual disorders, this book
can help.
Addiction and Mood Disorders: A Guide for Clients and Families is
designed primarily to educate individuals with dual disorders and
their families about mood and addictive use disorders. It not only
gives a message of hope, but also provides practical suggestions on
ways to manage these disorders. The author provides guidelines and
strategies for recovery from dual disorders based on, and adapted
from various treatments that have proven effective for addiction,
mood disorders, or both. This book is filled with case examples
that show growth and positive change, as well as the difficulties
many individuals struggling with a dual diagnosis face. Advocating
a recovery model in which the affected individual takes
responsibility for getting the most out of professional treatment
and self-help programs, this book shows that being an active
participant is the key to getting the most out of your recovery.
This book is for use not only by those individuals who suffer from
addiction and mental illness, but also by their family, friends,
and other members of their support system. Professionals who work
with these individuals will find this book to be a useful guide in
their clinical work as well.

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are common among many patients with
medical and psychiatric disorders. Professionals from all medical
and behavioral health disciplines must address SUDs to provide
optimal care to patients. Failure to do so may contribute to
morbidity and mortality in cases of more severe substance
dependence.
This new volume in the Pittsburgh Pocket Psychiatry series provides
a comprehensive overview of substance use disorders for medical
students and psychiatric residents. It is aimed particularly at
increasing student's knowledge and skills in addressing SUDs. The
handy pocket-sized book focuses on those substances used, abused
and leading to addiction and the clinical implications of SUDs.
Epidemiology, etiology, classifications of SUDs, screening and
assessment, and pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions are
discussed alongside case histories illustrating the material
covered. Questions for the reader stimulate thinking about specific
cases and how the medical student or resident can help patients
with SUDs.
Additional chapters focus on problems caused or worsened by SUDs
such as Hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS and co-occurring psychiatric
disorders. Relapse and recovery are also explored given many
patients with substance dependence relapse. Adolescents with SUDs,
prevention and harm reduction interventions are also reviewed.
The concept of rom SUDs is incorporated in many of the chapters.
Medical, psychological, family and cultural aspects of addiction
and recovery are addressed, providing the reader with a broad
framework for understanding and helping patients with SUDs, as well
as their families. An extensive list of online resources is
provided that includes mutual support programs as well as
professionals and organizations who offer helpful materials and
programs for patients with SUDs.
Contributing authors represent medicine, psychiatry, social work,
psychology in diverse treatment settings. Many authors are also
researchers and all are educators involved in mentoring medical
students, residents, fellows and other health care professionals.
