PHARMACOTHERAPY FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS: PRESCRIBING AND COLLABORATIVE ROLES

Book ID/图书代码： 00581010B35641

English Summary/英文概要： Psychologists are becoming increasingly involved in pharmacotherapy—as prescribers of psychotropic medications, as collaborators with prescribers, and as sources of information, advice, and support to clients and health care professionals. These new roles represent one of the most significant changes in the practice of psychology in recent times.
This book takes a comprehensive look at how pharmacotherapy is reshaping the practice of psychology. It argues the benefits of extending prescriptive authority to appropriately trained psychologists and chronicles the experiences of prescribing psychologists.
Furthermore, it explores emerging issues that prescribing and collaborating psychologists face, such as the need to maintain a psychological orientation while integrating medication management with psychotherapy, the need to build and maintain strong relationships with physicians, issues with insurance companies and managed care agencies, professional practice standards and guidelines in relation to pharmacotherapy, and the evaluation of drug research.
With its strong practical orientation, this book is a must-read for psychologists who have or want to obtain prescriptive authority, as well as those who wish to assume more collaborative roles within primary care and other settings.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 心理学家作为精神药物开具者、作为处方开具者的合作人、作为信息建议的来源以及病患的专业支持正日益与药物治疗挂钩。这些新的角色体现了心理学在当今时代中最大的变化之一。
这本书全面地介绍了药物治疗如何改变心理治疗。它探讨了从规定性权威到受过专业训练的心理学家以及长期开具处方的心理学家的经验的种种好处。
同时，它还涉及了新出炉的颇有争议的话题即在结合药物管理和药物治疗的同时还保持心理学为中心的需要、建立和维持医师之间的关系、保险公司和医护代理、专业从业标准和准线之于药物治疗的争议以及药物研究的评估。
凭着它强有力的航标，这本书对那些想要获得权威肯定的心理学家以及那些想在其他角色范围之余承担此类合作者的人而言是必读之物。(XJJ)
