Mental Health in Primary Care by Andrew Elder

Mental Health in Primary Care by Andrew Elder

This book uniquely brings together leading experts from both primary care and psychiatry to offer practical advice to the working GP. It is timely and innovative in its approach arguing that general practice needs to develop its own diagnostic and treatment philosophy for treating psychological distress. It holds onto the vision that GP, patient, family and practice team must work together.

. . an enjoyable read with sufficient detail to entertain the interested psychiatrist or general practitioner or to be used as a training or as a reference work . . . This is a very welcome additional resource to primary mental health care. * Primary Care Psychiatry, Vol 9, Number 1 *
Buzzing with new ideas... grounded in evidence and well presented... * The British Journal of General Practice *
Overall this is an excellent book. It is highly readable, well structured and manages to combine the experience of mental health problems in family practice with pragmatic management advice for busy primary care practitioners. It should be required reading for all psychiatric and GP trainees. * Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry *
A comprehensive and unique addition to the literature. * Doody's Journal *
