A psychiatric assessment is a structured clinical conversation, complemented by observation and mental state examination, and supplemented by a physical examination and the interview of family members when appropriate.

Recenzii

In general, this volume seems to be geared to medical students on a psychiatric rotation, first year psychiatric residents, and graduate students in other mental health care professions.  It seems to be thorough enough in content coverage and organized well enough for those particular audiences.  The two most important features that should be highlighted are (a) the book’s utility as a good brief introduction to the basics of psychiatric interviewing and (b) its thorough coverage of psychiatric signs and symptoms.  In addition to the need for referencing more of the included material and the addition of examples, this book could greatly benefit from the presentation of a significant amount of material in tables, such as with the types of memory disturbances.  Mark Maruish, PhD, author, Handbook of Psychological Assessment in Medical Settings.

I like this book.  I like the idea of the book-it will be useful to med students and especially to medical students (so the potential audience is small). It is very well written and clear. It’s also relatively long for a small but crucial teaching point - i.e. how to do a psychiatric evaluation.  My only criticism (and perhaps i missed this as i skimmed it) is psychiatric patients have cognitive difficulties so you have to work with family and sig others to understand the patient and make a diagnosis.  The approach in the manuscript is mainly on the individual patients. My book is on Family and Couple Therapy takes this approach.  The closest competing book in my judgment is The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice by Bob Michaels, my mentor.

Working relationships with the patient’s family is discussed in the book, GPZ
