<p>The majority of psychiatric conditions initially present in a primary care setting; the challenge for practitioners is to accurately recognise and diagnose mental illness so that appropriate treatment or referrals can be implemented. Psychiatry in Primary Care is a practical, accessible volume that supplies the key information general practitioners require to achieve this. This significantly revised and updated fourth edition includes 75% new material. Combining the expertise of a general practitioner and a practising psychiatrist, new chapters focus on the considerations of special populations and the use of psychotherapies, including cognitive therapy, problem solving and solution-focussed therapies. An audio CD-ROM gives examples of these therapies in operation to aid the practical application of the theory presented. Evidence based, user friendly and clinical, this is essential reading for general practitioners and primary care mental health workers, as well as trainees in general practice and psychiatry.</p>

A Guide to Psychiatry in Primary Care

Routledge

The third edition of Professor Caseyºs inspirational handbook needs little introduction and no justification as the bulk of psychiatric practice is now centred firmly in the primary care setting, and general practitioners and their colleagues face ever-increasing pressure to recognise and manage a very broad spectrum of mental health problems.Readers of earlier editions will be familiar with the clear style and successful format, including highlighted summaries and carefully selected case histories. There is much that is new, too. The text and references have been completely revised and updated and there are new or expanded sections on premenstrual dysphoric disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Since the publication of the last edition there have been significant developments in psychiatric nomenclature and the introduction of new antidepressant and antipsychotic agents as well as a new focus on alternative treatments. All these and issues of current debate and controversy are covered fully and clear guidance provided.
