Beschreibung

Kia J. Bentley and Joseph Walsh present a book that is truly the first of its kind. All the facts, myths, and relevant information about psychotropic medication is presented to social workers in an easy-to-access manner. Professionals and students alike will find this book to be a practical resource that helps them to be more responsive to the medication-related concerns of their mental health clients and to work more collaboratively on these issues with families and other mental health care providers. Rich in case examples and within a contemporary framework of "partnership" practice, this book provides an up-to-date primer on psychopharmacology and a review on psychosocial interventions to help in effective medication management.
