Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care: Behavioral Health in the Medical Setting

Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care seeks to integrate medicine and psychiatry –- as the authors’ systems-based biopsychosocial model proposes. The book identifies physical symptoms as a common mode of presentation of mental health problems and describes how to integrate them with psychological symptoms to make diagnoses of mental disorders. Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care also details a behaviorally defined, evidence-based mental healthcare model that can be effectively used in a medical setting.
