Cognitive Behavioral Psychopharmacology: An Evidence-Based Approach

By Mark Muse (Editor), Cognitive Behavioral Psychopharmacology offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to coordinating psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments. This groundbreaking book is the first to translate the current evidence for cognitive behavioral, psychosocial, and pharmacologic approaches to mental health disorders into clear guidance for clinical practice.

A Biopsychosocial Perspective

There is a burgeoning movement in mental health to acknowledge the entire person’s functioning across physical, psychological, and social spheres, and to integrate medical as well as psychological and social interventions to address the entire spectrum of presenting problems. This book bridges a gap in the professional mental health literature on the subject of standalone versus combined treatment approaches.

Integrative Care

Each disorder-specific chapter is authored by a prescriber and psychotherapist team who consider all the evidence around treatments and combinations, providing outcome conclusions and concise tables of recommended front-line interventions. This book provides a biopsychosocial perspective that integrates the medical, psychotherapeutic, family, and community aspects of the therapeutic process.

Major Psychiatric Diagnoses

Bringing together and comparing the current evidence for and against treatments that combine psychopharmacology and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy for major psychiatric diagnoses, this book outlines an evidence-based approach to determining which combination of treatments is most appropriate for each of the major psychiatric diagnoses.

Accessible to All Mental Health Professionals

Describing, in a way that is accessible to both prescribers and therapists, when and how cognitive behavioral therapy can be integrated into pharmacotherapy, this book will appeal to a wide range of mental health professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and addictions counselors. It also will be of interest to primary care physicians and nurse practitioners who work side by side with mental health professionals.
