Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences: An Introduction for Clinical Learners equips medical students and other clinical learners with the foundational knowledge and skillsets they need to understand and effectively treat patients with psychiatric symptoms and disorders within various aspects of medicine.
Unit I provides learners with a global overview of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. Students are introduced to the critical tools of psychiatry assessments and mental status examinations. In Unit II, students are given the framework to understand what normal human development is or is considered to be. With this information, they will recognize clinical deviations from the norm. Unit III covers psychiatry disorders outlined by the DSM-V and corresponding ICD-11 diagnostic criteria. In each chapter, a case vignette is discussed, and clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment are covered. With this, students will be better equipped to recognize mental health problems that need to be addressed, resulting in more positive patient outcomes, regardless of their ultimate specialty of choice. Unit IV discusses the different treatment modalities used in psychiatry. The final unit focuses on special topics in psychiatry, including suicide, psychiatric emergencies, psychosomatic medicine , social determinants of health, pediatric and geriatric mental health, diversity and cultural psychiatry, professionalism, and more. An active learning component is available in a separate publication for interested learners to consolidate concepts and skills.
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences: An Introduction for Clinical Learners is an ideal resource for courses and programs in medicine and allied health fields.
