Viac o knihe

The book presents a measurement-based framework designed to enhance treatment for mood disorders, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. It emphasizes the integration of pharmacotherapy and clinical psychometrics, using a unique diagram that correlates rating scale results with patient self-reports across therapeutic effects, adverse effects, and quality of life. The selected measures are concise, valid, and user-friendly for both clinicians and patients. Importantly, the approach fosters a collaborative relationship between patient and therapist, promoting improved patient well-being.
