This book provides instruction in applying basic treatment
strategies to patient care. Emphasis is placed on teachi. ng
diagnostic skills, and especially, the therapeutic management of
emotionally disturbed patients. This book is intended as a
companion text to Basic Psychopathology: A Programmed Text, whi. ch
focuses more on teaching the description and observational skills
for diagnosing common psychopathologic syn- dromes. Basic
Psychotherapeutics gives pragmatic suggestions for treating a
variety of psychopathologic disorders, many of which are newly
classi- fied in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual - III (DSM-II1)
published by The American Psychiatric Association. We have adopted
the terminology and many, but not all, of the diagnosti. c criteria
used in DSM-III. The treatment recommendations proposed are
eclectic in nature and the infor- mation presented is
non-theoretical and patient centered. Basic Psychotherapeutics is
divided into three parts. The first re- views basic data collection
procedures and treatment skills; it includes chapters on
interviewing, the mental status examination and pharmaco- logic,
psychologic and behavioral therapy. The next section includes
chapters on commonly encountered psychiatric syndromes such as
schiz- ophrenic, affective and anxiety disorders. The final
chapters are pre- sentations of special clinical interest, such as
the management of suicidal patients, psychiatric emergencies,
treating the dying patient and his family, and others.
