An innovative psychiatry textbook that presents behavioral
disorders from the perspective of what is seen in medical settings
The goal of Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care is not to make
psychiatrists out of medical clinicians, but rather, to help
clinicians manage common behavioral conditions that most often
present in a medical setting. Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary
Care seeks to integrate medicine and psychiatry --- as the authors'
systems-based biopsychosocial model proposes. The book identifies
physical symptoms as a common mode of presentation of mental health
problems and describes how to integrate them with psychological
symptoms to make diagnoses of mental disorders. Essentials of
Psychiatry in Primary Care also details a behaviorally defined,
evidence-based mental healthcare model that can be effectively used
in a medical setting. The combined experiences in primary care of
the authors --- who specialize in both general internal medicine
and psychiatry --- provide the perfect background for a book of
this nature. Having trained medical students, as well as internal
and family medicine residents since 1986, their experience and
research demonstrates the information they outline is effective and
associated with improved mental and physical health outcomes.
