It is organized around psychiatric \"syndromes\" rather than \u003ci\u003eDSM\u003c/i\u003e diagnoses, so it will remain current even after the publication of the \u003ci\u003eDSM-5\u003c/i\u003e. The book provides clear and relevant treatment options in the form of decision trees with additional explanatory narratives. These decision trees enable practitioners to distinguish ìnormalî patients from those who require more customized therapeutic interventions. This holistic text integrates neurobiology, theory, and research evidence related to psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and complementary and alternative medicine interventions. While providing comprehensive information on theory and practice, it simplifies complex aspects of treatment with clarity and provides the depth of content appropriate to support sound clinical reasoning required in advanced practice. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book responds to the current backlash against overmedication in psychiatry. It also fulfills the upcoming requirements by APNA and ISPN that advanced practice psychiatric nurses must have skills in psychotherapy. Additionally, the text focuses on treatment issues across the life span and highlights pertinent clinical differences from the adult population through pediatric pointers and aging alerts. \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Practice Psychiatric Nursing\u003c/i\u003e reflects the extensive practice and educational experience of editors and contributors from the United States, Canada, and Scotland, all of whom are expert APNs.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOrganized around psychiatric ìsyndromes,î rather than DSM diagnoses, so it will remain relevant after the DSM-5 is published\u003cli\u003eIntegrates neurobiology, theory, and research evidence related to psychotherapy. psychopharmacology, and CAM therapies \u003cli\u003eProvides the much-needed content on psychotherapy newly required for all psychiatric advanced practice nurses (APNA \u0026 ISPN White Papers) \u003cli\u003eSupports clinical decision skills through thoughtfully designed, easy-to-follow decision trees\u003cli\u003eICONS highlight life span clinical management differences through Pediatric Pointers and Aging Alerts\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/p\u003e
