Product Description
To ensure comprehensive psychiatric care for women, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals must incorporate the latest advances in medicine, oncology, obstetrics, and gynecology into their practice. The Concise Guide to Women's Mental Health is a helpful, practical handbook on the assessment and management of psychiatric conditions in women. This guide explores medical treatments and their relationship to psychiatric illness. In particular, it examines the biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors that influence a woman's mental health and often contribute to psychiatric disorders. The book supplies clinicians with important information on gender-related differences in psychiatric disorders and psychopharmacology and the effects of these differences on differential diagnosis, case formulation, and treatment planning. For handy reference in clinical situations, the guide also provides numerous concise summary tables and figures containing the latest information on women's mental health, including the use of psychotropic medications with specific female populations. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
