Authored by over 500 internationally acclaimed expert editors and chapter authors from around the world. Completely updated and expanded with almost 40 new chapters. Significantly increased attention to the role of culture in all aspects of evaluation and care. New sections on Digital Mental Health Services and Technologies, Treatment Issues in Specific Populations and Settings, and on Prevention, Systems of Care, and Psychosocial Aspects of Treatment address key advances. This edition is the first comprehensive reference work to cover the entire field of psychiatry in an updateable format, ensuring access to state of the art information. Earlier editions were called “the best current textbook of psychiatry” by the New England Journal of Medicine, and “the gold standard” by the American Journal of Psychiatry. Tasman's Psychiatry, 5th Edition, builds on the initial vision in prior editions of approaching psychiatric evaluation and care from an integrative bio-psycho-social-cultural perspective. It is designed to be an essential and accessible reference for readers at any level of experience. This editorial approach encompasses the importance of the first encounter between patient and clinician, followed by the complex task of beginning to develop a therapeutic relationship and to develop and implement a treatment plan in collaboration with the patient. The importance of increasing attention to the role of culture and social determinants of mental health is reflected both in specific chapters and in components of many chapters throughout the book, especially in those pertaining to clinical evaluation, the therapeutic alliance, and treatment. The global scope of this edition is reflected throughout the book, including the section on psychiatric disorders where evaluation using both ICD 11 and DSM 5-TR is discussed. Most chapters are authored by experts from at least two different countries or continents, adding a critically important dimension which often is missing in major psychiatric textbooks. Tasman's Psychiatry, 5th Edition, is an essential reference for all medical professionals and students who need a trusted reference or learning tool for psychiatry, psychology, clinical research, social work, counseling, therapy, and all others.

In diesem Buch werden die Wurzeln, Methoden und Möglichkeiten der Lebensrückblicktherapie, Biografiearbeit und weiterer Reminiszenzinterventionen dargestellt. Der Ansatz ist dabei alters- und schulenübergreifend. Der Lebensrückblick wird als Intervention behandelt, die zur Identitätsarbeit, Sinnfindung und Ressourcenorientierung und als narrativer Ansatz bei verschiedener Symptomatik und verschiedener Klientel eingesetzt werden kann. Seit einiger Zeit ist über alle Schulenorientierungen hinweg das Interesse an Lebensrückblickinterventionen gewachsen. Formen der biografischen Arbeit werden mit Kindern und Jugendlichen in schwierigen Lebenssituationen, psychisch Kranken und älteren Menschen eingesetzt. Die psychotherapeutische Hauptform ist die Lebensrückblicktherapie. Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass sie zu den wirksamsten antidepressiven Verfahren gehört, so dass eine breite Anwendung in der Psychotherapie zu empfehlen ist. Geschrieben für Psychotherapeut:innen, Psychiater:innen, Psychosomatische Mediziner:innen, Sozialarbeiter:innen, Seelsorger:innen und andere im sozialen/therapeutischen Bereich Tätige.

Dit boek geeft een overzicht van wetenschappelijke kennis, ervaringsverhalen en best practices op het gebied van leefstijlpsychiatrie. Daarnaast biedt het praktische handvatten die direct toepasbaar zijn in het voorkomen en behandelen van psychiatrische aandoeningen. Het boek richt zich op alle professionals binnen de geestelijke gezondheidszorg die een bijdrage willen leveren aan verbetering van leefstijl binnen de psychiatrie. Leefstijlpsychiatrie is het eerste brede, Nederlandstalige overzicht van actuele wetenschappelijke kennis over de rol van leefstijl in de preventie en behandeling van psychiatrische aandoeningen. Het boek beschrijft eerst het belang van leefstijl en richt zich daarna op diagnostiek en behandeling. De belangrijkste leefstijlaspecten zoals beweging, voeding, verslaving en slaap passeren uiteraard de revue, net als ervaringsverhalen en de rol van de hulpverlener. Ook is er aandacht voor de praktische kant, met hoofdstukken over bijvoorbeeld communicatie, implementatie en ethische dilemma's. In lijn met onder andere de versteviging van leefstijlgeneeskunde waarin de nadruk ligt op lichamelijke ziekten, neemt ook de aandacht voor de rol van leefstijl voor onze psychische gezondheid toe. Het verbeteren van leefstijlfactoren bij mensen met psychische klachten kan het herstel bespoedigen en verergering van klachten en terugval voorkomen. Prof. dr.

Of the millions of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), adults represent the fastest growing segment of the population. Unfortunately, clinical research has not kept up with the population surge, leaving insufficient guidance for proper support and treatment for adults who have ASD. Psychological Therapies for Adults with Autism aims to fill the gap between research and treatment for adults with ASD. Serving as a compendium of diverse, research-supported treatment approaches, chapters are written by internationally recognized experts and include case studies to illustrate this research in practice. Interventions featured include cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and many others. In addition, several chapters explore special topics such as employment preparation and managing intense emotion. The book also outlines a range of adaptations that can enhance the accessibility, acceptability and effectiveness of therapy, equipping practitioners with more personalized tools for better treatment outcomes in adult clients with ASD.

Clinical formulation lies at the heart of how mental health professionals understand psychological distress. It is the application of a framework that cohesively integrates scientific knowledge with the symptoms of distress. In essence, it is the creation of order to what is often experienced as disorder. The aim of this book is to bring awareness to the theoretical and practical opportunities for mental health professionals that exists by using atypical information when adapting typical formulation models.Each chapter reflects some variation in how formulation is defined, conceptualised and practiced, by using information that regularly materializes from professional encounters but often is omitted from the formulation of a particular presenting problem. Chapters on diet and exercise, sleep, spirituality, sexuality and meaning-making highlight how approaches to formulation can be extended to provide additional opportunities for intervention for the client and practitioner.A professional encounter orientated in the manner proposed will generate a type of formulation that will raise interesting and testable hypotheses that can assist in understanding ‘stuck'points in therapy, difficulties within the therapeutic relationship, low motivation or inability to engage in particular approaches and will assist in devising person-specific mental health interventions. This book will appeal to clinical psychologists and psychotherapists in practice and training.

This book intends to open the debate between three main aspects of clinical practice: psychotherapy (including psychological and philosophical influences), neurobiology and pharmacology. These three main themes are clinically applied in what we call the “Intervention Triangle”. The book will first focus on epistemologically distinct frameworks and gradually attempt to consider the integration of these three fundamental vertexes of practice. These vertexes are substantially unbalanced in the mental health field, and thus, this book tries to make sense of this phenomenon. Unique in its interdisciplinary and comprehensive view of mental health problems and approaches, this book offers a new perspective on unidisciplinary integration that previous publications have not considered. As an innovative contribution to its field, this volume will be particularly relevant to practitioners working towards integrative frameworks. It will also be of interest to students, clinicians and researchers, in particular, those working in psychology, medicine, psychiatry, philosophy, social work, and pharmacy.

In the last decade, mental health professionals have been under mounting pressure to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of their treatment choices and practices. Progress has been made, related in part to improvements and refinements in diagnostic classifications that are increasingly empirically determined and behaviorally based. Historically, however, research on the treatment of children and adolescents has lagged behind research on the treatment of adults. The growing realization that early intervention can prevent serious psychological dysfunction in adulthood has stimulated much more interest and attention in recent years, and a number of innovative and efficacious treatment strategies have been developed. But most of these are not widely known outside the contexts of the major research programs in which they originated and were tested. Complete protocols have rarely been disseminated or replicated; descriptions are typically embedded in the'methods'sections of journal articles or briefly given in chapters of volumes addressing a diversity of problems. The Handbook of Psychological Treatment Protocols for Children and Adolescents is the first attempt to bridge this gap between clinical research and practice. Drawing together systematic, empirically-based guidelines for accountable clinical work with children and adolescents with varying presenting problems, it is a compendium of state-of-the-art treatment manuals. Specific instructions and relevant case illustrations facilitate the practitioner's efforts to replicate the approaches. The Handbook will be welcomed by a wide range of mental health professionals and their students.
