Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! The Psychology of Deceit looks beyond compulsive liars in our society and considers the ongoing flood of lies that we as human beings experience every day.Who lies? Not just children, politicians, advertisers, and salespeople. Our co-workers lie. Our friends lie. Our relatives lie. And we lie to them. Everybody lies.We learn to lie and to detect deceit as a developmental task. Dr. Ford's philosophy is that lying is part of the bridge between one's internal world (beliefs, perceptions, expectations, fantasies) and one's external world (reality). Lies work not only to deceive others but to deceive ourselves.This book shines a spotlight on an understudied phenomenon that affects us all as we raise children, choose a relationship, move forward with a career path, or buy a used car.

Hardcover. Condition: used. In recent years, the lens of the media has narrowed issues of euthanasia and assisted suicide to a drama involving two players: Dr. Kevorkian and the law. This has left suffering patients and their families unrecognized and isolated when facing the most painful life decision.Here at last is a book that addresses the role of psychiatry in dealing with a major, controversial topic in American medicine today-treatment decisions at the end of life. End-of-Life Decisions: A Psychosocial Perspective acknowledges and explores the role psychiatrists can play as advisers to the terminally ill and their loved ones. It describes the wide range of emotional and psychiatric issues faced by the patient, family, and physician that affect choices patients make to limit treatment or seek physician assistance in dying.A distinguished group of contributors, all of whom have extensive experience dealing with end-of-life issues in clinical practice, address topics that may not have been considered previously. From dealing with issues of terminal illnesses in children, to making difficult treatment decisions for patients with AIDS; from judging the competency of clinically depressed patients for making sound decisions, to understanding the influence of family dynamics, economic forces, and language differences on doctor-patient communication-the book uses specific case studies and data to explore the role of professionals in end-of-life decisions.End-of-Life Decisions strikes a careful balance between the need for patient autonomy and the challenge to make well-formulated treatment decisions. This book will heighten modern medicine's and society's consciousness concerning the difficult challenges faced by patients and their families when making end-of-life decisions.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. Supportive psychotherapy-the most widely practiced form of individual psychotherapy today-draws on a depth and breadth of skills to exercise the discipline effectively. Recognizing the importance of this therapy to the field, the Psychiatry Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandated that competence in supportive psychotherapy is required of all psychiatry residents.One of five volumes in the groundbreaking Core Competencies in Psychotherapy series, this remarkable clinical guide will be a trusted resource for how to do supportive psychotherapy. Extensively detailed clinical vignettes are woven into each aspect of supportive psychotherapy discussed in this concise yet comprehensive work.In nine informative chapters, the authors cover the basic principles of supportive psychotherapy, clarifying the placement of supportive psychotherapy in a continuum of supportive to expressive psychotherapy that corresponds with the extent and level of a patient's psychopathology. They detail the general framework of supportive psychotherapy, including indications, phases of treatment, beginning and ending sessions, professional boundaries, therapeutic relationship issues (e.g., transference, countertransference, therapeutic alliance), and self-disclosure guidelines.More specifically, the authors discuss four major areas: Establishing and maintaining a positive therapeutic alliance Understanding and formulating patients' problems (i.e., how to perform a thorough patient evaluation and case formulation) Setting realistic treatment goals with patients, helping them maintain or reestablish their best possible level of functioning given the limitations of their personality, native ability, and life circumstances Knowing what to say to patients (i.e., practical techniques that can be used right away)The authors also present evidence for the efficacy of supportive psychotherapy, with a summary of a number of outcome trials. In concluding chapters, they discuss crisis intervention, special populations (e.g., patients with chronic mental illness and comorbid conditions), and the criteria used to determine competency in this field.Although intended primarily for beginning therapists who need to learn the fundamentals of psychotherapy and in particular, how to talk with psychotherapy patients, this practical work-complete with index and references-will be immediately useful among a much wider audience: students in introductory courses in psychotherapy, supportive psychotherapy, treatment planning, and medicine; psychiatry residents who need to demonstrate competency in this form of psychotherapy; and seasoned practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, social work, occupational and recreational therapy, and medicine.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1. ? What is addiction?? How do you know if someone is addicted?? Are some people more prone to addiction than others?? Are some drugs more addictive than others?? How can you help someone who doesn't want help?Understanding Drugs of Abuse is designed to bring the everyday reader face-to-face with drugs of abuse and addiction. Through frank, no-nonsense explanations of the stimulants, depressants, psychedelics, and inhalants, this accessible guide will help the reader to understand how drugs of abuse affect thinking, behavior, perceptions, and emotions. It also examines the effects addiction has on the addict's family.Understanding Drugs of Abuse demystifies the treatment process by explaining what types of treatment are available, what actually happens during treatment, and what patients and their families can expect during the treatment process. The book also describes the recovery process and will help people identify good recovery -- as well as recognize poor recovery and the warning signs of relapse. Perhaps most important, Understanding Drugs of Abuse explains how friends and family can intervene when someone they love does not want help.Because the use of prescribed medications by people with substance use disorders can be misunderstood or even be dangerous, this book presents practical information about medications and recovery. It also explores the unique problems of adolescents who are addicted, as well as people with the dual disorders of a psychiatric and substance use disorder. Understanding Drugs of Abuse will also help the reader understand the role of genetics and other influences on addiction to alcohol, the most widely abused drug of all.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 3rd. For the first time in history, most people in societies such as our own can plan on growing old. But longer average life expectancies (76.5 years in the United States) also bring increased risk. At least 12% of elderly Americansand an astounding 30%50% of those seen in primary care or hospitalized for medical conditionshave diagnosable mental disorders (e.g., cognitive impairment, affective and anxiety disorders).Yet older people are poorly served by the mental health system, with its roadblocks of limited reimbursement and access, attitudes about aging, fewer psychotherapy referrals, and limited training in geriatric psychiatry. This third edition of a uniquely valuable pocket guide offers the latest research and practical advice for successfully diagnosing and treating elderly patients. The authors cover normal aging, mood and anxiety disorders, dementia, Alzheimers disease, delirium, common mental disorders, and competency and related forensic issues such as informed consent.Clearly written and extensively illustrated, this informative guide also features an appendix of essential rating scales for depression, cognitive skills, and delirium. As such, it is a "must read" for all mental health professionals who work with the elderly and are challenged not only to identify and treat specific psychiatric disorders, but also to provide education, support, and preventive interventions to help older people and their families manage the common stresses of aging.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. Providing ethical care is the goal of every dedicated clinician and clinical trainee, yet fulfilling this ideal involves far more than simply being -- or trying to be -- good.Concise yet thorough, this pocket guide fills the void left by traditions, codes, and legal rulings to help define the real meaning of professionalism in the care of human suffering.Writing with clarity, coherence, and optimism, the authors summarize fundamental principles, enumerate essential skills, and review recent empirical findings in the overlapping areas of clinical ethics and psychiatry. Case illustrations, tables, and strategic lists enhance the book's 17 informative chapters, which are organized into three major topical areas: Psychiatric ethics -- Basic principles of bioethics; core values, traditions, and skills of the clinical professions; clinical ethical decision making (including the role of health care ethics committees); genetic breakthroughs and their ethical implications; and the three ethics principles in psychiatric research: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice Clinical settings -- The psychotherapeutic relationship; ethical use of power; confidentiality/privacy and truth telling; informed consent-the cornerstone of ethically sound clinical care; caregiving in small communities, which involves overlapping relationships, roles, and boundaries (e.g., the patient and the clinician grew up on neighboring farms), confidentiality (e.g., everyone in town watches who goes into the clinic, culture (e.g., a mental illness may not be acknowledged or recognize as such), and special stresses of clinicians; mentoring and support during training Clinical populations -- Emotionally disturbed children, exceptionally demanding work that involves clinical and ethical complexities, such as giving food as a reward, allowing hugs, and reporting child abuse, that do not exist in work with adults; "difficult" patients, from those who refuse to take their medications to those who omit important details about their histories; resource allocation (i.e., "rationing" health care), including the disruptions in clinician-patient relationships caused by managed care; people facing the end of life; addiction psychiatry and the role of stigma; and mental health problems of colleagues.This volume in the eminently practical Concise Guides series moves us forward in our efforts to improve clinical decision-making, foster awareness, and enrich educational efforts related to the ethically challenging dimensions of mental health care. Complete with glossary, references, index, and suggested further readings, this remarkable guide offers an invaluable toolkit for mental health care students and professionals everywhere.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. Imbued with a shared passion for children s mental health, the DSM-IV-TR Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health reflects its editors and contributors conviction that through the meticulous presentation and careful study of cases, diagnosis and treatment can be vastly improved. The book is designed to be both an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees, trainers, and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians. The heart of the book is its cases, which are organized into four parts by increasing complexity. Each case is accompanied by three expert commentaries, simulating the experience of meeting with a panel of supervisors or depending on the reader s training level consultants who are among the best in the field. At a time when twenty percent of children and adolescents in the United States have diagnosable mental health problems, yet 75 to 80 percent of those so afflicted do not receive appropriate psychiatric care, the DSM-IV-TR Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health constitutes a necessary and long overdue resource.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 4. This new edition of the classic psychodynamic psychiatry text, Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice, continues its tradition as the most readable, scholarly, and practical introduction to psychodynamic theory and practice available. Kept within arm's reach of all mental health professionals, this invaluable "one-stop" reference will prepare you to teach students and treat patients more effectively with its truly integrative psychodynamic approach.The author has meticulously updated every chapter of the previous edition, adding new illustrative case examples and discussing the most recent research findings and concepts in psychodynamic psychiatry. It introduces the basic principles of psychodynamic psychiatry and the four fundamental theoretical frameworks derived from psychoanalytic theory: ego psychology, object relations theory, self psychology, and attachment theory. Drawing on the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience to validate the latest psychodynamic thinking, the author includes neuroanatomical illustrations that highlight the need to integrate psychoanalytic theories of development with brain development and the impact of environment on gene expression.The eminently practical Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice is organized into three distinct sections based on DSM-IV diagnoses: ? Section I, Basic Principles and Treatment Approaches in Dynamic Psychiatry, begins by laying a foundation in psychoanalytic theory. It focuses on how to apply psychoanalytic theory to specific types of evaluation and treatment, including psychodynamic assessment, brief therapy, individual and group psychotherapy, family and marital therapy, pharmacotherapy, and hospital/partial hospital treatment.? Section II, Dynamic Approaches to Axis I Disorders, covers the major psychiatric disorders and discusses how to apply psychodynamic understanding to the treatment of patients with these disorders.? Section III, Dynamic Approaches to Axis II Disorders, provides a psychodynamic understanding of personality disorders and covers in detail the principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy for these conditions.The fourth edition of Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice details the theory of psychodynamic psychotherapy and the adaptation of psychodynamic thinking to specific disorders. As such, it is an ideal companion to Dr. Gabbard's Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Basic Text, which details the techniques of dynamic psychotherapy.The bestselling Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice is the definitive reference for training programs of all kinds at all levels. This new edition provides a clear synthesis of diagnostic understanding and treatment unmatched in the literature. Marked by Dr. Gabbard's distinctly lucid and compelling prose, it is the ultimate psychiatric guide for the busy clinician and mental health student.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. Designed as the conceptual successor to The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, this book takes the subject to the next level. The authors, two of the leading forensic practitioners in the field, draw on both their own extensive experience and empirical research to provide vital information on the exciting and growing field of forensic psychiatry. Covering such topics as attorney-expert relations, the pitfalls of cross-examination, and forensic countertransference, this book is certain to become an essential reference in the field.Once based largely on anecdotal material and thus considered mystifying and idiosyncratic, forensic psychiatry has come into its own as an exciting and uniquely rewarding specialty. This groundbreaking work, designed as the conceptual successor to The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness (American Psychiatric Publishing 1998), discusses work in subject areas thatdespite extensive ad hoc discussions in professional forumshave until now lacked systematic exploration. Here, two leading forensic practitioners present the first truly comprehensive overview of previously unavailable data from actual forensic practice. Focusing on the privately retained practitioner within the civil context of Americas legal system, this incomparable reference examines forensic practice from basics to trial: ? Case preparation, including the various roles of the psychiatric expert witness as consultant, business person, teacher, advocate, witness, and performer; boundary issues; the theoretical and empirical dimensions of fee agreements and finances, including model fee agreement guidelines? Attorney-expert relations (a topic once considered taboo), including attorney pressures on the expert witness, the early warning signs and empirical study of endangered honesty and objectivity (featuring a model consent form for forensic examinations), and the phantom expert, which discusses the use of the experts name without consent, or alleged testimony as a legal strategy? Pitfalls of cross-examination, such as personal questions, experts disclosures about opposing experts, and the effect of the Daubert case, which established a benchmark for admissibility of expert witness testimony in preparing psychiatric/psychological testimony for court? Forensic countertransference, with topics such as the early warning signs of compromised distance and objectivity, including case examples of how to handle overimmersion or secondary posttraumatic stress syndrome and how to maintain credibility in the face of intrusive personal questions from opposing attorneys? Extensively annotated and indexed, this unique volume also features vignettes of real-life ethical dilemmas that defy clear resolution, such as the misuse of research funds, sexual misconduct, and malpractice.Intended to foster and improve the dialogue and understanding between clinical and legal professionals, this volume is written for both expert forensic psychiatrists and the attorneys who work with them. This in-depth book is certain to raise the standards of forensic practice and become an essential reference in this complex and uniquely challenging field.

Softcover. Condition: Good. 2. The first book designed to teach the developing practitioner the core concepts and skills of short-term work, The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies has been revised and significantly enhanced in this second edition by the addition of an introductory section that addresses the most critical issues common to all models of psychotherapy, as well as a detailed review of motivational interviewing, a technique that focuses on increasing patient motivation and openness to change while decreasing ambivalence. Also new to this edition is a companion DVD, which provides master clinicians insights and experience for five brief therapies cognitive, behavioral, solution-focused, interpersonal, and dynamic illustrating the essential techniques of these modalities in a concrete, compelling way. The editors selected contributors with extensive experience in teaching brief therapy and challenged them to provide practical guidance enriched with numerous case vignettes and video examples of their work. The result is a work of unparalleled insight and utility. The Art and Science of Brief Psychotherapies offers clinicians the hands-on information and instruction necessary to learn and then integrate this increasingly important form of therapy into their practice.
