Industrial or vocational training; Psychiatry

In psychiatry, as in all of medicine, clinicians are frequently involved in training students and residents yet few have themselves been trained in pedagogy. Improving the quality of psychiatric education should both improve the quality of psychiatric care and make the profession more attractive to medical students. Written by a team of international experts with many years of experience, this comprehensive text takes a globally relevant perspective on providing practical instruction and advice on all aspects of teaching psychiatry. It covers learning from undergraduate and postgraduate level to primary medical and community settings, enabling readers to find solutions to the problems they are facing and become aware of potential issues which they can anticipate and be prepared to address. The book discusses curriculum development using examples from around the world, in order to provide trainees with the basic attitudes, knowledge and skills they require to practise psychiatry.

Features:

Instruction on developing a curriculum for Residency training, teaching interviewing skills, teaching psychotherapy and using new technology Innovative ways of engaging medical students in psychiatry and developing their interest in the specialty, including experience with new types of elective and research options and development of roles for students in patient care Focuses throughout on how to teach rather than what to teach Includes descriptions of workplace-based assessments Discussions of both theoretical and practical perspectives and examples of particular innovations in the field using case studies

Presented in a thoroughly readable and accessible manner, this book is a primary resource for all clinicians involved in teaching psychiatry to medical students and trainees.

Reviews for Teaching Psychiatry: Putting Theory into Practice

This book deserves our attention since it covers a very important topic and sheds light on common predicaments of our profession. There are summary tables in each section, which makes it an easy and interesting book to read. This is a bedside book for every psychiatrist who is responsible for educating others, particularly for the ones working in academic settings and training hospitals (Turkish Journal of Psychiatry, August 2011) It will be rewarding reading for any psychiatrist interested in education and required reading for medical school psychiatry leads. (The Psychiatrist, August 2011) Written by experts in psychiatric education, this work addresses the well-understood methods for teaching and learning the practice of psychiatry. (Doody's, October 2011) In this valuable international perspective on teaching psychiatry, Gask (U. of Manchester, UK), Coskun (U. of Kocaeli, Turkey), and Baron (U. of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, US) advocate improvements in psychiatric education to address the recruitment crisis in the field and help reduce the stigma attached to mental illness even among medical students.
