In psychiatry, as in many other medical disciplines, training is shifting from an emphasis on testing factual knowledge towards a system based on continuing assessment and the acquisition of practical skills and competencies. Workplace Based Assessments in Psychiatric Training describes current approaches to these new assessment systems around the world, provides practical advice regarding their implementation and makes recommendations for future developments. The book opens with an overview and analysis of methods of workplace-based assessments, followed by a review of the trainee assessment from the patient perspective. Chapters contain in-depth, detailed discussion of recent developments in Canada, Denmark, India, the UK and the USA. The book reviews both technical developments in assessment tools and techniques and the socio-political context within which these have taken place. With a practical focus and unique global perspective, this is a ‘must buy’ for anyone responsible for the supervision of psychiatric trainees.

This is a book of psychiatry at its most practical level. It aims to answer the sorts of questions psychiatrists ask on a daily basis. What treatments are available for the condition that I think this patient has? What is the relative value of each of these treatments? Are there any other treatments that I should be considering if a first approach has failed? Is there any value in combinations of treatment? And, can I be sure that the evidence and recommendations I read are free from bias? The content is organised into three sections covering disease classification, the major treatment modalities and the application of these treatments to the wide range of psychiatric diagnoses. All professionals in mental health want to give the best treatments for their patients. This book provides clinicians with the knowledge and guidance to achieve this aim.

More than a field of science of medicine, psychoanalysis – the interpretation and treatment of disorders and behaviors of the mind – is field that has touched nearly all other arts and humanities: literature, painting, film, music and more. To understand the underpinnings of this field is to shed light on how much of the Western world has understood itself during the 20th century. The International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis – published in France in 2002 and now available in English – is the most extensive reference work published on this topic. The International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis not only represents all branches of the field, but it also defines the evolution of the different theoretical and clinical psychoanalytical concepts as well as the major individuals, works, events and institutions which have made an impact on the history of the psychoanalytical movement worldwide. It also reveals the history of psychoanalysis in 50 countries and shows the relationship between psychoanalysis and other disciplines, with entries discussing writers, philosophers, literary movements, and historical events. the major psychoanalysts worldwide and 170 articles on their major works. This set distinguishes itself because it brings, in the controversial field of psychoanalysis, an authoritative and non-partisan analysis and history of the discipline, with writers reflecting a cosmopolitan range of ideological positions – Freudians, Jungians, Lacanians, and Kleinians – as well as clinical practitioners and academic historians. The international team of authors representing most parts of the world provides a truly global perspective on this field. Its interdisciplinary approach covering medical, historical, and intellectual aspects, makes it of interest to readers beyond the fields of psychoanalysis, psychology, and medicine.

The Clinical Manual of Cultural Psychiatry was developed over more than 18 years, first as a course, then as a successful and highly regarded manual for use by mental health practitioners in evaluating patients who identify themselves as belonging to a cultural or minority group. The second edition represents the further evolution of the field and is needed now more than ever in our increasingly diverse world. The book has been not only thoroughly updated but also expanded to embrace additional dimensions and segments of society. Mental health issues experienced more frequently by women and the cultural factors affecting the mental health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals, as well as religious and spiritual issues, are explored in four new chapters that round out coverage of the nation’s four major ethnic minority groups. The new edition is also updated with the DSM-5[registered] Outline for Cultural Formulation and the new Cultural Formulation Interview and comes with access to online video examples using simulated patients to illustrate how to use these tools. Focused on promoting both understanding and developing cultural competency for clinicians, the new second edition of the Clinical Manual of Cultural Psychiatry represents a major advancement in this critically needed area.
