Unmet Need in Psychiatry: Problems, Resources, Responses
ISBN: 9780521027236 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few countries can provide adequate health services for all the mentally ill, yet none have developed a rational system to decide who should be treated.

How do we determine and apply such criteria? What are the ethical implications? In this pioneering work, an international team of eminent psychiatrists, epidemiologists, health administrators, economists and health planners examine these questions. This volume is divided into four...

ISBN: 9780521472753 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has long been accepted that depressive disorders comprise a biologically-based type, the so-called "endogenous" or "melancholic" depression, and a residual set of depressive conditions resulting from social factors. The difficulty has been in distinguishing the melancholic type of depression on the basis of clinical features. This book describes the development of a behavioral sign-based approach, the CORE system, and demonstrates its superiority to previous symptom-based diagnostic systems for depression. The authors suggest that the psychomotor signs elicited may indicate the likely...
