Review
'This book contains an abundance of practical advice and clinical practice wisdom … it sends a clear message that relating to patients in a warm, genuine, accepting, and inquisitive fashion provides the setting in which patients are encouraged to collaborate with the psychiatrist, become more self-reliant and autonomous, and progress along the path to recovery from mental illness.' Psychiatric Services

'It is written with a great sense of humour, lucidity, and without the unnecessary quest for a political correctness. The authors clinical acumen and experience are obvious. The chapters are straight to the point, well written, with good clinical illustrations, and with another good feature - the main points of each chapter are at the end of it.' Annals of Clinical Psychiatry

'This book needs to be considered as e recommended reading for all doctors in training in psychiatry. it grasps many nettles and provides a rare insight into contemporary psychiatric practice. Not only does this book provide a grounding in basic history-taking and mental state examination, but it also tackles the more challenging and enjoyable aspects of our work, such as community mental health team functioning, managing relationships, dealing with substance misuse, difficulties relating to psychosis, interactions with families, as well as wider issues of culture and beliefs. It provides illuminating and thought-provoking insights into self-awareness and the issues we as practitioners bring into the therapeutic relationship. These issues are captured succinctly by well-chosen clinical scenarios. The text is easily digested and readable, with summary points at the end of each chapter which help to make what can be enormous issues distilled and clear. A persistent theme is the depth of the clinical experience evident in the authors, which is neither lofty nor manifest as unattainable ideals. This book is disarmingly applicable and approachable. … it is an unsurpassed and important work.' British Journal Of Psychiatry

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 11 April 2006 By  Pablo Ronzoni (Nottinghamshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I found this book to be very easy to read (even for me that English is not my first language), to the point that I could not put the book away until I finished! Ok, it requires a previous basic knowledge of psychiatry, but it is so well written, almost poetically at times, with examples and recapitulations at the end of each chapter. It covers most of the issues that all newly trainees face when interviewing mental health patients. Some times it feels like you are reading a novel rather than an academic textbook, which I found exciting and very explicative as the authors experiences are told like in a lecture environment. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking of starting a career in the mental health area or those junior doctors afraid of psychiatric patients Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
