If a person doesn't know what to look for and the questions to ask, finding the right psychiatrist can be daunting.The goal is to find one who, while remaining a competent physician, is as comfortable and capable working with problems of the mind as he or she is prescribing psychiatric medications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining over forty years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist with an insider's perspective of current psychiatric practice, Dr. Robert Taylor provides invaluable guidance to persons considering psychiatric treatment or contemplating a change of doctor in an effort to find better treatment. Cautioning readers against settling for a psychiatrist who views psychodrugs as \u003ci\u003ethe \u003c\/i\u003etreatment, Dr. Taylor provides specific suggestions for avoiding the growing number of psychiatrists who write scripts automatically. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn recent decades, psychiatric care has been overly reliant on psychodrugs. Patient diagnoses are being seriously questioned. \u003ci\u003eFinding the Right Psychiatrist\u003c\/i\u003e encourages people to seek care from a complete psychiatrist--one able and willing to pursue matters of mind and brain\/body, rather than settling on psychodrugs as the main treatment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the book, readers learn about the proper uses and limits of psychiatric diagnosis. Dr. Taylor carefully outlines an individualized approach to psychiatric care guided more by a patient's particular problems and situation than by diagnoses that often mislead more than help. He provides a realistic appraisal of psychiatric medications: what they can and cannot do as well, a discussion of mind work tools, traits of effective psychiatrists, suggestions for how to deal with common insurance company obstacles, and an explanation of the confusing politics of psychiatry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn indispensable resource for anyone seeking psychiatric help or tasked with advising someone of what to look for in a doctor, \u003ci\u003eFinding the Right Psychiatrist \u003c\/i\u003egives hope and guidance to those searching for complete and personalized care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eView a three minute video of Dr. Robert L.
