Riassunto

Expanding upon the 1986 edition, Johns Hopkins' psychiatry faculty present the ways in which the subject matter is organized rather than the entire informational content of the field. Boldly proclaiming that such a structure provides a better basis for research and practice than the all-encompassing "biopsychosocial" orientation, the authors cover: assessment and explanation; the concepts of diseases, dimensions, behaviors, and life stories; practical implications; and reliability and validity.

Recensione:

"I know many physicians who would like their own liaison psychiatrist in their pocket (in more ways than one). Those who work at Johns Hopkins now have just that. This book comprises the portable advice of the Johns Hopkins Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine to help physicians with some of the commonest psychiatric issues they encounter." -- Eleanor Feldman, Psychological Medicine

"A very informative text that does an excellent job of introducing to some and presenting to others effective approaches to psychiatric and neurological symptoms... Provides practical, time friendly, concepts that would be usable after only the first read." -- M. Ojinga Harrison, M.D., Journal of Psychosomatic Research
