(These updates involve changes of 50% in the text). The book will be a critical assessment of where psychiatry stands today, as a science, and as a method of treatment. While the text acknowledges the triumphs of psychiatry, it takes a critical view of what is known, what is unknown, and what ideas and practices\n\u003cbr\u003eare most likely to stand the test of time. Its conclusions will be rooted in the principles of evidence-based psychiatry. It shows that both drugs and psychotherapy need to be prescribed with their limitations\n\u003cbr\u003ein mind.The book will combine findings from many disciplines to develop an interactive biopsychosocial model  of mental disorders. It will show that a purely biological perspective,  as well as a purely psychosocial perspective, can lead to bad treatment choices. Its overall message about mental disorders is to think interactively. These principles are then applied to a wide range of categories of psychopathology (psychoses, mood disorders, PTSD, personality disorders), as\n\u003cbr\u003ewell as how they can be applied to the practice of psychiatry, in both pharmacological therapies and psychotherapies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059221352686,"sku":"9780197753941","price":95.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780197753941.jpg?v=1736494181","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/prescriptions-for-the-mind","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
