However, information is not enough. The clinical process involves how to think, not only what to think about. This volume, by two expert clinical psychopharmacologists, shifts attention to this broader clinical process: coping with diagnostic ambiguity, determining the appropriate level of care, when and how to start, stop, change or end a course of treatment, how to construct a strategic plan that recognizes that treatment often doesn't work, how to evaluate whether it is working (including a primer on what a clinician can learn from research statistical methods), and finally, most important, how to include the patient in every step along the way. This book belongs on the shelf of every psychiatrist who has mastered the basics and is ready to become a seasoned expert, a consultant to others and, most of all, to his or her own work.'

This important new book provides them with reader-friendly, pragmatic strategies to approach clinical problems as testable hypotheses. It discusses how to apply concepts based on decision analytic theory using risk-benefit analyses, contingency planning, measurement-based care, shared decision making, pharmacogenetics, disease staging, and machine learning.  Readers will learn how these tools can help them craft optimal pharmacological and psychosocial interventions tailored to the needs of an individual patient. The book covers topics such as diagnostic ambiguity, interview technique, applying statistical concepts to individual patients, artificial intelligence, and managing high-risk, treatment-resistant, or demanding and difficult patients. Valuable clinical vignettes are featured throughout the book to illustrate common dilemmas and scenarios where the relative merits of competing treatment options invite a more iterative than definitive approach. For all healthcare professionals who prescribe psychotropic medications.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Foreword\u003cbr\u003e 1.
