Following the success of the first two volumes in Stahl's Case
Studies series, a brand new collection of clinical stories have
been collated in Volume 3, derived from cases seen by medical
students, residents and faculty from the University of California
at Riverside (UCR) Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. The
highly popular and unique user-friendly presentation of previous
volumes has been maintained, with extensive use of icons,
questions/answers, and tips. The cases address multifaceted issues
in an understandable way and with direct relevance to the everyday
experience of clinicians. Covering a wide-ranging and
representative selection of clinical scenarios, each case is
followed through the complete clinical encounter, from start to
resolution, acknowledging all the complications, issues, decisions,
twists and turns along the way. The book is about living through
the treatments that work, the treatments that fail, and the
mistakes made along the journey. This is psychiatry in real life.
This full-color, practical handbook provides a concise,
evidence-based psychopharmacological approach to the management of
complex treatment-resistant psychotic disorders. Part I focuses
uniquely on topics and strategies relevant to treating this
challenging patient population. These approaches go beyond standard
guidelines while adhering to research and clinically derived data.
Part II provides a concise array of information regarding those
classes of medications most commonly used when treating complex
treatment-resistant psychotic disorders. Each medication guide
contains sections including mechanisms of action, typical treatment
response, monitoring, dosing and kinetics, medications to avoid in
combination/warnings, and take-home pearls. Part III offers tips in
brief appendix chapters for managing common issues ranging from
loading lithium and valproic acid to the treatment of acute
psychomotor agitation. An essential resource for psychiatrists,
forensic clinicians, psychiatric trainees, and all mental health
professionals involved with, or interested in, the treatment of
challenging psychotic disorders.
As an excellent source of learning for prescribers specializing in
psychiatry, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners,
psychologists, and pharmacists, this new edition features
approximately 150 questions, divided into ten core areas of
psychiatry, helping to identify areas in which you need further
study. The majority of questions are new or updated in their
explanations and referencing. Each question is followed by an
explanation of the answer and a list of references. After
completing the questions you will be better able to: diagnose
patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms using accepted
diagnostic standards and practices; implement evidence-based
psychiatric treatment strategies aligned with the patient's
recovery goals; integrate recent advances in diagnostic and
treatment strategies into clinical practice according to best
practice guidelines. This collection has been approved by the
American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as part of a lifelong
learning and self-assessment program and as a component of
maintenance of certification.
