A Guide to Treatments That Work

Editat de Peter E. Nathan, Jack M. Gorman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 aug 2015

Subliniem, încă de la început, rigoarea academică a acestui volum coordonat de Peter E. Nathan și Jack M. Gorman, care reunește experți de renume din centre clinice de elită, majoritatea fiind cercetători care au definit literatura de specialitate în ultimele decenii. A patra ediție a A Guide to Treatments That Work nu este doar o actualizare, ci o recalibrare a standardelor de practică bazată pe dovezi în psihiatrie și psihologie clinică.

Descoperim aici o structură clinică precisă: fiecare capitol pornește de la indicii de diagnostic, analizează tranziția terminologică către DSM-5 și culminează cu o revizuire sistematică a cercetărilor recente. Reținem introducerea unor secțiuni curajoase care problematizează limitele biomarkerilor în diagnostic și etica cercetării farmaceutice, elemente ce reflectă maturitatea disciplinei. Față de lucrări precum What Works for Whom? de Peter Fonagy, care se concentrează predilect pe populația pediatrică și adolescentină, volumul de față oferă o perspectivă panoramică asupra întregului spectru de tulburări psihiatrice ale adultului, menținând totodată capitole noi, specializate pe patologia pediatrică. Dacă Effective Treatments in Psychiatry de Peter Tyrer acoperă necesitățile imediate ale clinicianului sub formă de ghid de buzunar, acest tratat aprofundează fundamentul metodologic și calitatea dovezilor de eficacitate.

Poziționăm această lucrare în continuarea preocupărilor lui Peter E. Nathan pentru rigoarea empirică, vizibile în lucrări precum Clinical Case Studies in the Behavioral Treatment of Alcoholism, dar la o scară mult mai vastă, transformând datele brute de cercetare într-o matrice de decizie clinică indispensabilă.

De ce să citești această carte

Această resursă este esențială pentru psihiatri și psihologi clinicieni care doresc să își fundamenteze protocoalele de tratament pe date empirice solide, nu pe intuiție. Cititorul câștigă acces la o sinteză critică a celor mai eficiente intervenții farmacologice și psihosociale actuale. Este, în esență, instrumentul de referință pentru a naviga între noile criterii DSM-5 și realitatea terapeutică a fiecărui sindrom major.


Despre autor

Peter E. Nathan este profesor distins la University of Iowa Foundation și o figură centrală în psihologia clinică americană. Cariera sa este marcată de un efort constant de a aduce rigoarea științifică în tratamentul tulburărilor comportamentale, fiind autorul unor lucrări fundamentale despre alcoolism și psihologie clinică aplicată. Expertiza sa în metodologie și evaluarea eficacității tratamentelor a transformat seria „A Guide to Treatments That Work” într-un standard de aur pentru practicienii care aderă la modelul practicii bazate pe dovezi (Evidence-Based Practice).


Descriere

Like its predecessors, this fourth edition of A Guide to Treatments That Work offers detailed chapters that review the latest research on pharmacological and psychosocial treatments that work for the full range of psychiatric and psychological disorders, written in most instances by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists who have been major contributors to that literature. Similarly, the standards by which the authors were asked to evaluate the methodological rigor of the research on treatments have also remained the same. Each chapter in A Guide to Treatments That Work follows the same general outline: a review of diagnostic cues to the disorder, a discussion of changes in the nomenclatures from DSM-IV to DSM-5, and then a systematic review of research, most of which has been reported within the last few years, that represents the evidence base for the treatments reviewed. In all, 26 of the volume's 28 chapters review the evidence base for 17 major syndromes. Featuring this coverage is a Summary of Treatments that Work, an extended matrix offering a ready reference by syndrome of the conclusions reached by the chapter authors on treatments that work reviewed in their chapters. New to this edition are two chapters at the beginning of the book. Chapter 1 details two perplexing issues raised by critics of DSM-5: the unrealized potential of neuroscience biomarkers to yield more accurate and reliable diagnoses and the lingering problem of conflicts of interest in pharmaceutical research. Chapter 2 contrasts Native American and western ways of identifying effective treatments for mental and physical disorders, concluding that "evidence-informed culture-based" interventions sometimes constitute best practices in Native communities. Two chapters detailing pharmacological treatments for pediatric bipolar disorder (Chapter 9) and pediatric depressive disorder (Chapter 12) have also been added. More than three quarters of the chapters are written by colleagues who also contributed to most or all of the previous editions. Hence, this new edition provides up-to-date information on the quality of research on treatment efficacy and effectiveness provided by individuals who know the research best.

Recenzii

It is remarkably thorough without being overwhelming. The information is readily accessible and is useful for clinicians who are referring to it briefly, or opening it to brush up on the literature in a given area. But this book's main strength is that the authors also are using an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy for many major psychiatric conditions, an area many clinicians unfortunately neglect in their treatment recommendations. This is a worthy effort and one book likely to be used over and over, not accumulating dust on a shelf.
In this book, you will find detailed research and experience-based information on pharmacological and psychological treatments, that work on a long list of disorders relating to human thought and action.
