1st ed. 2020 Edition
by Carla Marienfeld (Editor)
This book serves as a tool for general psychiatrists, medical
students, residents, and fellows looking for a clinically relevant and
high-yield overview of addiction psychiatry in preparation for their
board exams – or for everyday clinical practice. Written by expert
educators in addiction psychiatry, the text is organized by substances
misused and populations affected. This book serves as both a primary
learning tool for those new to the field, as well as a reference for
those working in addiction treatment. Each chapter begins with summaries
of high yield clinical pearls, followed by general information
including treatment, and then ends with accompanying board-style review
questions. The scope includes understanding substances of misuse and
substance use disorders (SUDs), how to evaluate, diagnose, and monitor
SUDs, how to treat SUDs both pharmacologically and behaviorally, and
critical information for specific populations of patients.
Absolute Addiction Psychiatry for Clinical Practice and Review
is an excellent resource for all medical students, residents, fellows,
and professionals taking certification exams in addiction, including
those in psychiatry, addiction medicine, emergency medicine, internal
medicine, pain medicine, and others.
