Study Guide to DSM-5-TR by Laura Weiss Roberts, et al. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is the most widely used manual for assisting in the diagnosis of mental disorders. As such, it has tremendous influence over research, clinical care, education, and public policy relating to these disorders and to clinicians' patients', families', and the public's understanding of these disorders. Knowledge of and facility with DSM is a necessity for professionals who work with people living with or affected by mental disorders. DSM-5-TR, the text revision of the fifth full edition of this manual, is an essential resource for those training in all fields of physical and mental health. Of note, it is a valued clinical tool when applied in the context of whole people, keeping in mind an individual's ability to adapt, thrive, and engage, and in relation to genetic, biological, psychological, environmental, familial, and cultural considerations. Revisions included changes in the writing, references, and codes (ICD-10-CM codes are now listed), as well as changes to diagnostic entities, diagnostic criteria, specifiers, and terminology. Changes in diagnostic criteria or specifiers occurred for over 70 disorders, although major changes are not involved. Three new disorders were added: prolonged grief disorder, unspecified mood disorder, and stimulant-induced-mild neurocognitive disorder. The Study Guide to DSM-5-TR should be used side-by-side with the full text of DSM-5-TR. We take a patient-centered approach, complementing the more disorder-centered organization of DSM-5-TR. A new chapter focusing on structural and cultural considerations in the diagnostic process has been added to Part I of the Study Guide to DSM-5-TR. We also introduce consistent features in the diagnostic chapters to help make the concepts of DSM-5-TR come to life. For example, each of the chapters in Part II offers case vignettes that illustrate patterns of illness, including expected and, at times, unexpected elements, and demonstrate how age, gender, and several other cultural factors influence the cases. Other vignettes highlight patient-clinician interactions in the process of an interview and provide sample questions asked by the clinician to better appreciate the patient's unique experience of a disorder. The diagnosis-oriented chapters in Part II provide "diagnostic pearls" and points of importance to daily clinical practice. Furthermore, the chapters in Part II include "elements to consider in the cultural formulation" and "changes between DSM-5 and DSM-5-TR," bringing attention to the revisions that have been made in this edition of the DSM. The Study Guide provides a context for all of the diagnoses in DSM-5-TR, but instead of covering every diagnosis superficially, we chose to dive into greater detail ("in depth") for certain very interesting or very prevalent diagnoses that illustrate each diagnostic class. Because this book is a study guide, we have tried to make it learner friendly to facilitate the processes of registering new information from DSM-5-TR, recalling it, and then considering how it will apply in the reader's work. Part I puts DSM-5-TR in context, in terms of explaining diagnostic frameworks and indicating how these might shape work with patients. Part II focuses on the diagnostic classes in DSM-5-TR. To stimulate learning about the disorders, each of these chapters has a self-assessment section, including key concepts, questions to discuss with colleagues and mentors, complicated cases, and short-answer questions and answers (the answers are generally based on information in either the Study Guide or DSM-5-TR). Part III ("Test Yourself") is replete with more than 100 questions, including brief vignettes covering a wide range of diagnoses and patient circumstances to aid the application of DSM-5-TR to clinical work and training. Because this Study Guide is a companion book to DSM-5-TR, its content intentionally parallels that of DSM-5-T

All 19 chapters have new references and cutting-edge material that will prepare psychiatrists and residents to treat patients with compassion and skill.

Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatry: Optimum Care, Emerging Limitations, and Realistic Goals by Howard Fenn, et al. This book offers mental health guidelines for all medical professionals facing the emerging challenges presented by an aging population worldwide.  The text acknowledges that as the geriatric demographic grows, limited resources and infrastructures demand quality protocols to deliver inpatient geriatric psychiatric care, and that many physicians may not be trained to address these specific needs.  This text fills this gap with guidelines assessing, diagnosing, and treating aging patients as they present in the emergency room and other settings.   Unlike any other text, this book focuses on how to optimize the use of the inpatient setting by recommending evaluations and treatments, and offering flow-charts and figures of key points, to guide both general workup and continued evaluation and treatment. This approach aims to minimize instances of premature release or readmissions and to improve outcomes.     Chapters cover the various issues that clinicians face when working with an older patient, including legal topics, limitations to treatment, prescription-related complications, patients struggling with substance abuse, and various behavioral concerns. Written by experts in the field, the text takes a multidisciplinary approach to deliver high-quality care as needs of the aging population evolve.   Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatry is a vital resource for all clinicians working with an aging population, including geriatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists, primary care providers, hospitalists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, emergency room and geriatric nurses, social workers, and trainees.

The Psychiatric Interview by Daniel J. Carlat Over the course of a 40-year professional career, you will do 100,000 diagnostic interviews. The diagnostic interview is by far the most important tool in the arsenal of any clinician, and yet the average training program directs relatively few resources to specific training in the skills required for it. The general assumption seems to be that if you do enough interviews with different kinds of patients, you'll naturally pick up the required skills. That may be true, but it can take a long time, and the learning process can be painful. I hatched the idea for this manual one night during my first year of psychiatric residency. Starting my shift in the acute psychiatry service (APS), I noticed five patients in the waiting room; the resident who handed me the emergency room beeper said that there were two more patients in the emergency room, both in restraints. At that moment, the beeper sounded, and I called the number. "Psychiatry? This is Ellison 6. We have a patient up here who says he's depressed and suicidal. Please come and evaluate, stat." That meant that I had a total of eight diagnostic assessments to do

The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice by Roger A. MacKinnon, et al. It has been nearly a half-century since the inaugural edition of The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice, and the book's status as a classic was again validated with the second edition a decade ago. This new, third edition maintains the book's reputation with thoroughly updated content that reflects changes brought about by the publication of DSM-5. The book presents the psychiatric interview in the context of the enormous and ongoing progress that has been made in biological and descriptive psychiatry. In addition, the book emphasizes the shift in the social relationship between patient and clinician, recognizing that the therapeutic alliance has become the foundation of all medical treatment efforts and that patients are now better informed and seek active involvement in treatment decisions. The text reflects this growing equality and supports the clinician's efforts to nurture the relationship for optimum therapeutic outcomes. The chapter on the traumatized patient has been completely updated for this edition, and a chapter on the patient with dissociative identity disorder has been added. Clinicians familiar with the previous edition will be pleased that its commonsense, easy to-use structure has been retained even as its content has been thoroughly revised. The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice will benefit mental health clinicians, both seasoned and in training, ensuring that their skills are current and their knowledge cutting-edge.

The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Substance Abuse Treatment by Kathleen T. Brady, et al. A robust revision, including many entirely new chapters addressing policy, the latest treatment approaches, and special topics, the Sixth Edition of The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Substance Use Disorder Treatment offers a comprehensive and compelling review of this ever-evolving field. New sections address important topics that have gained prominence or become the focus of increased research attention since the Fifth Edition was released. For example, substance use and other psychiatric disorders often co-occur, and the resulting dual disorder is frequently associated with greater symptom severity and worse long-term prognosis than either disorder alone. Accordingly, the section on psychiatric comorbidity covers the epidemiology, assessment, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) that co-occur with psychotic, mood, anxiety, eating, attention-deficit/hyperactivity, or trauma-related disorders. The section devoted to special populations has been revamped, and the topics have been thoroughly updated, some now covered by new contributors and others completely new to this edition. SUDs among women (including perinatal issues), adolescents, patients with chronic pain, sexual and gender minority populations, and older adults are addressed in detailed chapters, as are behavioral addictive disorders and cross-cultural aspects of substance-related and addictive disorders. Finally, the editors have included a section devoted to critically important topics in public health, including the U.S. opioid epidemic, cannabis policy and use, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, nicotine and public health, and the prevention of SUDs. New or noteworthy coverage includes the following: * A chapter devoted to the legal and practical aspects of addiction in the occupational sphere, designed for clinicians who treat people with SUDs and/or develop workplace testing programs, employee assistance programs, and occupational drug/alcohol policies for these workers.* A chapter that surveys the growing literature supporting the use of mindfulness, exercise, and other "mind and body" practices (e.g., yoga, acupuncture, tai chi) as complements or alternatives to standard SUD treatment models.* A chapter devoted to hallucinogens, which clarifies their actions, psychoactive effects, historical uses, potential therapeutic benefits, and neural mechanisms, and both identifies their risks and seeks to dispel some of the misconceptions that have continued to surround them.* A suite of chapters devoted to cannabis, encompassing a review of its neurobiology and history, a survey of effective treatment approaches and harm-reduction strategies for cannabis use disorder, and a consideration of evolving public policy around cannabis use.* A trio of chapters devoted to nicotine and tobacco, encompassing a review of neurobiology, a survey of clinical assessment tools, a summary of the research base for effective treatments for tobacco use disorder, and a consideration of public health policy and interventions regarding tobacco use. Evidence-based, down to earth, and meticulously edited, the new Sixth Edition of The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Substance Use Disorder Treatment is an essential resource for clinicians who treat SUDs in a variety of settings--from examining rooms to emergency departments, and from hospitals to recovery facilities.

DSM-5-TR® Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health by Cathryn A. Galanter, et al. The DSM-5-TR Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health has a singular aim: to help clinicians navigate the complexities of diagnosing and treating mental disorders in children and adolescents. Approximately 20% of children and adolescents in the United States have diagnosable mental health problems. Of those children in need, 50% do not receive mental health care. Building on the 2017 DSM-5 edition, this guide helps bridge the gap between research and practical application. It incorporates updates and advances from DSM-5-TR as well as evidence-based assessment and treatment of children's mental health. The book is designed to be an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including mental health counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians. A roster of more than 120 field-leading contributors lend their expertise in 28 realistic case studies, each accompanied by commentaries that offer diverse perspectives on treatment approaches, from the psychotherapeutic to the psychopharmacological. The studies correspond to four categories: 1. Classic cases that include ADHD, major depressive disorder, and anorexia nervosa2. Comorbid complexities, such as children with multiple disorders or language and reading difficulties and adolescents who have misused prescription medications3. Toughest cases, which include nonsuicidal self-injury and children and adolescents at high risk for developing psychosis4. Kids in crisis, which examines young patients who have psychopathology in the context of extreme psychosocial stressors Special attention is given to racial, ethnic, and cultural identity and how they affect diagnosis and treatment. The book's closing section discusses clinical and research issues in the diagnosis and treatment of child psychopathology. Whether they are trainees acquainting themselves with child mental health care or more experienced clinicians seeking a proxy for a second opinion, readers will find this volume an invaluable resource for improving the lives of young people facing mental health challenges.

Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry by Peter Manu, et al. Poverty, substandard medical care, social neglect or withdrawal, unhealthy lifestyle--these are just some of the contributors to the substantial morbidity of patients with severe mental illness. Medical deteriorations are often unexpected and severe, and particularly difficult to evaluate in the context of psychotic disorders. For this new edition, the Handbook of Medicine in Psychiatry has been updated and streamlined to provide a realistic approach to the medical issues encountered in psychiatric practice by helping clinicians answer whether their patient: * Is at risk of dying or becoming severely disabled.* Requires an immediate therapeutic intervention for a potentially life-threatening condition.* Needs to be transferred to an emergency medicine setting.* Requires urgent investigations.* Must have changes made in the current medication regimen. Clinical vignettes for each chapter illustrate the complexity of the presentation of abnormal vital signs and somatic disorders in psychiatric settings, including fever, hypertension, seizures, and nausea and vomiting. The guide also provides risk stratification for major complications--from abnormal thyroid function and acute kidney injury to myocarditis and venous thromboembolism--enabling readers to determine the need for a transfer of the patient to an emergency medicine setting. A brand-new section features thorough discussions of topics requiring interdisciplinary collaboration with geriatricians, neurologists, anesthesiologists, addiction medicine, and adolescent medicine specialists. Clinicians working in today's busy inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings will find in these pages a cognitive framework and knowledge base that will aid them in accurate decision making in the conditions of uncertainty created by potentially major medical deteriorations of the vulnerable populations under their care.
