Summary

Understanding the complex interactions among the mental health triumvirate.This is the first nuts-and-bolts guide to the relationship of non-medically trained mental health professionals, drug-prescribing psychiatrists, and clients. All three necessarily consult with one another, but sometimes they have competing agendas, and therapy suffers as a result. The authors clarify the responsibilities and limitations of each participant\'s role, and then they address the questions and anticipate the problems likely to arise in the course of therapy.
