Competency in Combining Pharmacotherapy and Psychotherapy: Integrated and Split Treatment

This essential work provides the ideal text for psychiatry residents who need to develop and demonstrate competency in providing psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in both integrated and split approaches -- a competency required by the Residency Review Committee in Psychiatry.

Clinically and developmentally oriented, Competency in Combining Pharmacotherapy and Psychotherapy: Integrated and Split Treatment focuses on competencies in adult psychiatry in the outpatient setting. The authors detail guidelines -- in two separate sections -- for assessing residents' competency to provide both integrated treatment (delivered by one professional) and split treatment (delivered in collaboration by two or more professionals).

This eminently practical volume will be welcomed by residents and training directors alike as an integral part of all psychiatric residency training programs. It will also be useful to nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and psychologists.
