Description

This practical and highly accessible workbook allows students and practitioners-in-training to gain the skills and knowledge needed in order to conduct a comprehensive psychiatric mental status examination. This rich selection of pedagogical content, which includes case studies, activities, chapter glossaries, and study questions, reinforces the terms and concepts that are related to key assessment areas. Each chapter functions as a distinct unit and allows readers to pick and choose relevant material, and lays the groundwork to help clinicians effectively assess patients for potential psychopathology, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and psychosis.

Written at an introductory level, the Fundamentals of the Psychiatric Mental Status Examination is an essential tool for students in health, nursing, occupational therapy, and social work programs, as well as any specialist employed in the areas of mental health and addiction.
