Texte du rabat

This new volume in Stahl's Case Studies series presents the continuation of Dr. Schwartz's previous successful collection of psychopharmacology cases from Volume 2, this time in collaboration with Dr. Radonjic and editing from Dr. Stahl. Here they illustrate common questions and dilemmas routinely encountered in psychopharmacologic day-to-day practice. Following a consistent user-friendly layout, each case features icons, tips, and questions about diagnosis and management as it progresses over time, a pre-case self-assessment question, followed by the correct answers at the end. Formatted in alignment with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology's maintenance of psychiatry specialty certification, cases address issues in a relevant and understandable way. Covering a wide-ranging and representative selection of clinical scenarios, each case is followed through the complete clinical encounter, from start to resolution, acknowledging the complications, issues, decisions, twists, and turns along the way. This is psychiatry in real life.
