Infos

Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists usually rely on observation, description, classification, testing explanatory hypotheses, and formulating clinical decisions based on clinical judgment. Despite its importance, clinical judgment is often overlooked in psychiatric literature. Clinical Judgment in Psychiatry fills that gap by providing both the theory and practical aspects of clinical judgment in psychiatry. The book is divided into three sections: 1) collecting clinical information using clinimetrics to distinguish patient differences; 2) organizing clinical data into operational hypotheses; and 3) formulating individualized treatment plans by matching evidence-based treatments with patient needs to achieve optimal outcomes. Drawing on extensive experience and literature, as well as case illustrations and clinical examples, this book provides practical suggestions to enhance therapeutic efforts. Experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, and mental health professionals will find valuable methods for applying their insights to clinical decisions, while early career and trainee clinicians will gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of clinical practice
