The Casebook of a Residential Care Psychiatrist: Psychopharmacosocioeconomics and the Treatment of Schizophrenia in Residential Care Facilities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780789023735)

This book addresses the problems involved in the onsite treatment of mentally ill patients in residential care facilities as opposed to hospitals. This innovative and useful tool also contains specific recommendations by an experienced psychiatrist as to how these visits should be conducted--with regard to frequency, duration, and the types of Medicare procedure codes to utilize. The book also discusses the profound changes psychiatric drugs have produced in social, economic, and legal arenas. While focused on psychiatry and schizophrenia, this book will also be of interest to mental health workers, long-term caregivers, and residential facility administrators.
