Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to help residents and other beginning clinicians gain a better understanding of the clinical principles and techniques that underlie therapeutic work with patients with chronic mental illness. "Resident's Guide to Treatment of People with Chronic Mental Illness" describes the direct involvement of psychiatric residents in a broad range of treatment interventions. Case examples and clinical vignettes illustrate specific techniques, emphasising interpersonal interventions rather than specific psychopharmocological prescriptions. This guide has been designed for residents and other mental health professionals working with the chronic mentally ill and their families.
