An innovative psychiatry textbook that presents behavioral disorders from the perspective of what is seen in medical settingsThe 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.

Guide helps primary care physicians treat the whole patient. As the main point of contact between patients and the medical system, primary care physicians represent the first line of defense in recognizing patients' mental health problems. But while an estimated 25 percent of primary care patients suffer from significant mental disorders, most primary care physicians are not prepared to deal with these types of problems. Psychiatry for Primary Care Physicians, Second Edition, provides a practical resource to integrate essential psychiatric care into the clinical primary care setting. This easy-to-use guide addresses the most common adult mental health problems in primary care, covering assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychiatric conditions. Logically organized by condition, each chapter is co-written by a psychiatrist and a practicing primary care physician so you get a specialist's knowledge tailored to your actual practice climate. Filled with tables, case studies, and checklists, most chapters cover relevant epidemiology, differential diagnosis, and referral issues. Special sections also explain various diagnostic models and screening tools. Building on the strengths that made the first edition a Brandon/Hill selection and one of DPI's "250 Best Books of the Year," Psychiatry for Primary Care Physicians, Second Edition, has added new chapters on psychological frameworks, development, emergencies in psychiatry, childhood disorders, women's health disorders, geropsychiatry, and resources in psychiatric care. This revised and updated second edition responds to the heightened awareness of the number of significant psychiatric conditions seen in primary care settings and the additional pressure on the primary care practitioner (PCP) to assess and manage them. Chapters cover relevant epidemiology, differential diagnosis, management strategies to be employed by the PCP, and specific criteria for patient refe
