Beschreibung
This innovative and important book describes a practical and clinically-relevant approach to the “difficult” psychiatric consultation. The authors systematically examine psychodynamic theories, family systems theories, and legal and ethical aspects of these consultations. Difficult Psychiatric Consultations: An Integrated Approach is unique compared to most psychiatric texts, in that it weaves traditional concepts in understanding a person and their family with contemporary developmental and relational concepts. The importance of these concepts, when applied to the study of the complexities and the interplay between patients, treatment teams and patients’ families in today’s medical centers, is brought to life through rich, real-life clinical examples. These powerful clinical vignettes allow the reader to put himself in the psychiatric consultant’s shoes as he navigates practical interventions to improve the outcomes of “difficult” consultations. To that end, the authors provide tables to outline pre and post diagnosis observable patterns of the parties involved in the psychiatric consultation.
This book has much to offer to general psychiatrists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, psychologists, nurse practitioners and social workers.
The fields of psychiatry and child psychiatry are encumbered by numerous and complex relational, medicolegal, and ethical dilemmas. This practical and clinically relevant book attempts to bring clarity to complex clinical presentations through the integration of psychodynamic, family systems, medicolegal, and ethical perspectives. It recognizes that the intimate and often difficult work with such complex cases requires consultation with multidimensional experts to address psychodynamic, family, ethical, and therapeutic issues. In the process, the author aims to foster the comfort and skill in dealing with these cases that is essential to the personal and professional growth of the psychiatrist. It is further anticipated that the book will assist in developing best practice standards for assessment and intervention in cases of this nature.

From the reviews:
“This book was developed in response to a need by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to provide a program for clinicians who deal with ‘difficult’ patients. … This book is intended for consult liaison psychiatrists who manage medically complex patients. Interestingly enough, it also should be considered a valuable resource for nonpsychiatrists, as it reinforces the need for an integrated medical-psychiatric team.” (Alyson Myers, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
