Summary: Making sense of such bewildering problems as hallucinations, paranoia, depression and enxiety might seem an insurmountable obstacle, but current psychiatry is able to bring understanding and change to many of those lives are impaired by psychiatric problems. This clarity is not achieved through the application of one dominant psychological theory, but through the integration of many perspectives, the biopsychosocial model. With Models of the Mind, [the author] explores the interaction of various models of psychiatry and demonstrates ways in which psychiatrists use the models. Application of the biopsychosocial model provides the reader with the opportunity to understand biological, psychological, and social terms simultaneously, and presents a holistic picture with multiple strategies for treatment. In [this book], the suthor takes a step back from the assessment to demonstrate to the student methods of integrating the information gathered from the patient into a clinically useful whole, essentially showing exactly how and why the psychiatrist arrives at an intervention. this book holds immense value for students, academics, and seasoned professionals in the field. - Back cover.
