Description: Although psychotherapy is a major mode of treatment in the entire field of mental health, it is - relative to the preponderance of its use - underinvestigated. Psychosocial Treatment Research in Psychiatry investigates the dramatic changes that have taken place in psychotherapy research and treatment in the last decade, as well as the future of psychotherapy in psychiatric practice. Psychosocial Treatment Research in Psychiatry examines the benefit of psychiatrists playing a more active role in the leadership of psychotherapy research, mental health professionals keeping up to date on new developments and advances in this field, and the incorporation of the latest developments in psychotherapy into residency training curricula.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 81-90) and index.
