Authoritative, comprehensive, and cutting-edge, the Handbook of Mentalizing in Mental Health Practice is the single most important resource for clinicians and trainees learning about-and incorporating-MBT into their therapeutic repertoire.

What if how medication was prescribed was as important as what was prescribed? This is the central tenet of Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology, a new guide that emphasizes integrating research on evidence-based prescribing processes with psychodynamic insights and skills to enhance and optimize treatment outcomes with difficult-to-treat patients.

This updated, second edition also features ways to employ CBT to reduce suicide risk and tips on integrating therapies related to CBT -- including dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and well-being therapy.

This text examines every aspect of the disorder in an up-to-date, rigorous, and clinically oriented manner. The editors address the disease in a systematic, accessible way, identifying the challenges of diagnosis and treatment.

This guide is both compatible with the DSM-5 Section III Alternative Model for Personality Disorders and elaborates on it, offering clinicians at all levels of experience an accessible framework to guide evaluation and treatment of personality disorders.

Chapters on assessment and treatment, along with accompanying videos, offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage that will benefit clinicians in practice, such as psychiatrists and psychotherapists, as well as mental health trainees.

By summarizing the empirical studies, proposing a universal language of defense mechanisms, and demonstrating how various assessment methods can be used in diagnosis, case formulation, and treatment, Dr. Vaillant and an interdisciplinary group of contributors provide the groundwork for clinical practice as well as future research in the field.

This practical and insightful guide distills into one volume CBT techniques for individual therapy and video demonstrations on DVD that illustrate how these techniques can be used to tackle a wide range of severe clinical problems.

This book offers practical guidance for assessing the amenability of patients to psychotherapy. By focusing on which patients are likely to respond well to therapeutic intervention and which will prove most resistive, the book can assist clinicians in determining with what kinds of patients will most likely succeed.

"This text demonstrates the influence that social media has in all aspects of young lives and summarizes the latest research findings on more than a dozen different aspects of social media as they relate to youth mental health. It is divided into two sections: Part 1 examines youth and social media use through multiple lenses of adolescent development, and Part 2 considers social media's clinical applications and implications for youth. The goal is to provide a comprehensive look at the impact of social media on the mental health of young people today and a foundational framework from which mental health professionals, policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers can consider a renewed phase of innovation that puts youth health and well-being at the forefront"--

"Ketamine was synthesized in 1962 after Parke-Davis scientists had discovered PCP, realized its potential and also its dangerous qualities, and returned to the lab to find a cousin with fewer drawbacks. Rasmussen traces ketamine's story from the lab to the anesthesia practice, describing the molecule and how it works in the body. Ketamine-again following PCP-became a commonly used recreational drug and is a problem substance in Asia, where it is easy to obtain. As an anesthetic, ketamine is highly effective, but it has shown odd characteristics such as dissociative states, mystical experiences, feelings that mimic near-death experiences, euphoria, and other symptoms akin to psychedelia. A serious side effect with prolonged use is a highly debilitating condition called ulcerative cystitis. Ketamine has been studied as an analog for schizophrenia, to try to find causes and treatments for that disorder. In recent times, ketamine is being explored as a treatment for chronic pain, depression, substance use disorders, and psychotherapy augmentation. Rasmussen concludes the book with a discussion of ketamine's paradoxical effects: is it a neuroprotectant or a neurotoxin?"--

"Well over 150 medications are represented in this new Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology. Intended as a quick-reference tool for clinicians, trainees, and other practitioners, it is rich in high-yield, evidence-based, and easily accessible information for commonly prescribed psychopharmacological agents, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, mood stabilizers, and nutraceuticals/phytoceuticals. For each medication covered, readers will find concise, easily referenced information on: * Indications * Contraindications * Dosing * Drug interactions * Clinical monitoring * Adverse effects Conveniently organized by drug class and indication, the handbook also features clinical pearls for each agent and class from experts and published literature in the field. Readers will benefit from evidence-based information on off-label prescribing, as well as from sections devoted to prescribing in special situations (e.g., pregnancy and lactation) and in specific populations (e.g., older adults and children/adolescents). As useful as a teaching tool and study guide as it is as an on-the-spot resource in outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings, the Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology is the busy practitioner's must-have companion"--

"This book primarily informs consumers of mental health services about the types of anxiety, depressive, and related disorders and their treatments. Beginning with how to find a physician who can provide the appropriate and effective clinical services, it goes on to discuss assessment, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as potential barriers to treatment, such as the lack of availability of a mental health professional nearby or financial costs. Diagnoses and their treatment among various populations, including males, females, children and adolescents, pregnant patients, and elderly patients are also addressed"--

"In Encountering Treatment Resistance, the author argues that patients must never be considered beyond aiding, given that second opinions identify additional treatment options in two-thirds of cases labeled treatment resistant. The book includes discussion of best practices for problem-solving and practical guidance on recognizing common but underappreciated medical causes of treatment failure and how to consistently achieve a thorough evaluation at each patient contact"--

"In Substance Use in Older Adults, more than 20 contributors translate their real-world experience in geriatric psychiatry into an accessible, evidence-based guide to screening for and assessing substance use in older adults. Early chapters discuss etiology and epidemiology, as well as comorbidities and management. Subsequent sections address the problematic use of specific substances, including alcohol, tobacco, opioids, sedatives, stimulants, and cannabinoids.

Importantly, this guide also includes resources for patients, families, and caregivers that will help to strengthen the partnership between clinician and patient"--

"The psychoanalytic frame, as we have known it, is at risk of disappearing. Psychoanalysts must meet the challenges of working within a radically altered psychoanalytic frame at a time of antiscientific attitudes toward climate change and heightened demands for racial justice and gender self-identification. We live in a frightening world in which psychoanalytic thinking might be of great assistance. Authors in this new edition explore how psychoanalysis is evolving in the current zeitgeist with its many challenges. All the chapters show that psychoanalytic methods, while recognizing the importance of the past, continue to remain open to the potential for new possibilities even in uncertain, extraordinary times. The search for individual truth has always been at the core of psychoanalytic thought. This third edition acknowledges the sociocultural and geopolitical forces that are shaping all our lives and affecting our search for truth, with the aim of sustaining that search"--

"Of increasing importance in the field of psychiatry, epigenetics has led to a greater understanding of pathologies and their possible treatments. The more complex aspects of epigenetics-the study of cellular events that affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence-often exceed the scope of preclinical training for many mental health providers. Applied Epigenetics for Mental Health Professionals contains the instructive material to close this gap"--
