Summary

Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse provides the nurse psychotherapist with a useful "how-to" primer that contains practical techniques and interventions without a lot of theoretical jargon. Topics include the basics of psychotherapy, from how to respond to a patient's initial call to termination of care. Selected approaches to interpersonal cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic psychotherapy are highlighted with discussion of evidence-based research for these approaches. This book also offers specific techniques for working, with commonly seen patient populations that require special consideration, including children, older adults, and those who have experienced trauma. In addition, how to integrate psychopharmacology and psychotherapy is discussed in detail.
