| Summary |
Explores the best ways to integrate pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy in the treatment of a number of mental disorders. Combined treatments are relatively common, but because of biases in the fields of medicine and psychology that champion one form over the another, many clinicians are not fully informed about use of both modalities. Each chapter examines the combined treatment for a specific disorder, such as insomnia, depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive-complusive disorder. The book also addresses a topic of increasing relevance, the social and ethical ramifications of prescriptive authority for psychologists.
