Learn How to Apply Psychotherapy in Real Psychiatric Practice
This leading text offers a practical
“how-to” approach to evidence-based psychotherapy
for advanced practice psychiatric nurses and students.
Rather than treating psychotherapy as an isolated skill, the book
connects assessment, development, neuroscience, attachment,
and therapeutic relationships within an integrated clinical framework.
The result is a guide that supports clinical thinking from the
first patient encounter through termination.
The book is written for clinicians whose work may involve both
psychotherapy and medication management, helping integrate relationship-based
care with broader psychiatric treatment.
Integrate Assessment, Development, Neuroscience & Relationship-Based Care
The third edition presents a revised clinical framework informed
by attachment theory and neurophysiology, helping readers connect
multiple dimensions of psychiatric care.
Build psychotherapy decisions on a clearer understanding of the patient and presenting problem.
Consider developmental context as part of formulation and treatment planning.
Connect neurophysiology with clinical understanding and therapeutic intervention.
Place the clinician-patient relationship at the center of psychiatric psychotherapy.
