Based on George Engel’s model, The Biopsychosocial Formulation Manual presents ways to help psychiatry residents and students effectively gather and organize patient data to arrive at a complete mental health history in a limited timeframe. While most current models only take one factor into account, Campbell and Rohrbaugh emphasize and analyze three essential components (biological, social, and psychological). The process of identifying pertinent data for each component of the biopsychosocial formulation is explicated in detail. A separate section outlines how to use the biopsychosocial formulation to generate treatment recommendations. This volume includes a complete package for practicing the biopsychosocial method; this easy-to-use guide includes a data record sheet and downloadable resources to facilitate organization and assessment, appealing to both the psychiatric professional and the trainee.
Eyes. They are two of our most precious assets. And everybody wants them to work perfectly. I know I do. When they don't, life becomes proportionally more difficult to the degree that they don't work. Thanks to modern technology, though, much can be done to help the weaker and diseased eye. But is modern technology the end-all of eye treatment? I hardly think so. People have been dealing with eye problems since the earliest days of his creation, and eyeglasses, contacts, and laser surgery are all relatively new. Now, don't get me wrong. Many of the latest advances in eye treatment are absolutely marvelous and we'll be discussing some of those in this report. Because if you don't have a particular eye problem now, there's a good chance you probably will somewhere down the road. If you decided to wait until you have the problem, it may be too late. And a little prevention goes a long way. Our eyesight will deteriorate with age: Decreased visual acuity and the need for glasses, cataracts, and eventually macular degeneration are an inevitable part of the aging process in most people. That isn't a pleasant thought, but it is reality. I've included in this book information about how the eye works, brief descriptions of various common eye conditions, traditional remedies to eye problems, and a few simple suggestions that may help you maintain your eyesight for years to come. - William Campbell Douglass II, MD
