This outstanding book breaks new ground by creating a united states of psychotherapy. One volume contains the best theory and practice of the major psychotherapies written lucidly by their leading proponents.

Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry

March 30th, 2010

Review

Psychiatric hospitals are no longer insane asylums; they are immersed in the outside world rather than being shielded from it. Smaller, more well staffed, less likely to be publicly managed, with shorter stays, more frequent readmissions, discharge planning that begins with admission, new forms of treatment, and above all a constant awareness of economics-cost, reimbursement, managed care and budgets-they have experienced extraordinary changes in the past few decades. Sharfstein, Dickerson and Oldham provide a modern comprehensive textbook that describes and analyzes these changes, discussing how hospitals care for patients, how they relate to the outside world, and how some of our finest institutions have adapted to these challenges. A must read for anyone who works in these institutions or knows those who do. –Robert Michels, M. D. , Walsh McDermott University Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry, Cornell UniversityThe Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry
