<p><i>Models for Mental Disorder</i>, first published in 1987, anticipated the<br /> move towards integration of psychiatric services into multidisciplinary teams<br /> (doctor, psychologist, nurse, social worker, etc) and the need to bring together<br /> the different philosophies of mental illness. Peter Tyrer has identified four<br /> different models of mental disorder that are relevant to clinical practice:<br /> the disease, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and social models.<br /> Each model is described and reviewed, with reference to case studies and<br /> illustrations, to show how it relates to mental health disorders and can be<br /> used to interpret and manage these disorders.</p> <p>The book has been widely read and is often used for training purposes so that<br /> each professional can understand and appreciate that differences in viewpoint<br /> are often a consequence of one or more models being used in a different way<br /> rather than a fundamental schism in approach.</p> <p>Since the fourth edition was published in 2005, the disciplines of mental health<br /> have moved even closer together with the growth of assertive outreach and<br /> more integrated community teams. This, combined with the greater awareness<br /> of mental health among users of services, which leads to more penetrating and<br /> informed questions at interviews with professionals, has emphasized the need<br /> for a wider understanding of these models.</p> <p>• The only book to describe the models framing mental health diagnosis<br /> and management<br /> • A great review for those wanting a better grasp of psychiatric disorders<br /> and for integration of concepts for treatment planning<br /> • New information on formal classifi cations of mental disorder<br /> • New information on mindfulness and mentalization regarding<br /> the dynamic model<br /> • Clearly written in a style which includes some humour and a<br /> conversational presentation – a joy to read for the beginner and more<br /> experienced practitioner alike<br /> • Features a teaching exercise for use when training students in the<br /> various models</p>
