Psicopatologia e psicopatologia dello sviluppo

First published in 1992, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning outlines an approach that quickly became the definitive standard for writing treatment plans. Developed by clinical psychiatrist James A. Kennedy, this practical, intuitive method organizes psychiatric problems into seven categories: psychological impairment, social skills, violence, activities of daily living, substance abuse, medical impairment, and ancillary impairment. Treatment plans are developed using information gathered with the Kennedy Axis V, an instrument that has proven more successful than both the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) in establishing baselines and determining outcome measures. Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning serves as a powerful, highly effective tool that -Promotes a cohesive approach. By using a consistent approach to planning, the clinical team works in concert toward uniform goals and outcomes. -Helps staff gather critical information to improve outcomes. For establishing baselines and determining outcome measures, the Kennedy Axis V instrument has proven more successful than both the GAF and the BPRS. -Includes many examples to help staff write their own plans. Rich with real-life examples to guide staff, including problem names and descriptions, treatment modalities, and samples of individual plans for each of the seven problem categories. In addition to the Kennedy Axis V questionnaire, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning includes blank forms for treatment planning and tabbed sections to allow for quick reference. New features in the second edition include the integration of nursing care plans into master treatment plans, new systematic steps for building goals and modalities, refinements to the questionnaire, and the introduction of online support via the authorAs website. With its readily adaptable, uniform approach to a complex subject, Fundamentals of Psychiatric Treatment Planning, Second Edition, is a powerful, highly effective planning tool for all members of the clinical staff.

Questo 'annuario' vuole essere un punto di inizio per la costruzione di un sapere condiviso da psichiatri e da medici di medicina generale ed è indirizzato a entrambi. I diversi capitoli di patologia internistica presentano un aggiornamento evidence-based su quanto di meglio è possibile reperire nella letteratura mondiale sul rapporto tra ansia, depressione e medicina generale.

La psicopatologia dello sviluppo è caratterizzata dalla necessità di integrarsi con numerose altre discipline: psicologia sociale, clinica e dello sviluppo; medicina pediatrica, interna e psichiatrica; genetica e neuropsichiatria infantile; epidemiologia, sociologia e antropologia. La prima esigenza cui questo manuale vuole rispondere è dunque quella di un linguaggio comune che consenta il dialogo tra quanti si occupano dei minori e dei loro problemi; la seconda quella di costruire una competenza di base che si presti ad essere declinata in ambiti di intervento diversi, in sintonia con finalità pratico-applicative affidate dalla recente riforma universitaria alle lauree di primo livello.

Il volume raccoglie i contributi di un gruppo di lavoro, coordinato da Luigi Pavan, che da anni conduce nelle istituzioni psic
