خلاصه: This book is addressed primarily to physicians, and particularly to psychia- trists. Primary care physicians, pediatricians, gerontologists, and allied mental health professionals will likely also find it useful. One of our goals, however, is to reestablish the role of the psychiatrist as the leader of the team of profes- sionals providing mental health care to patients in need. The psychiatrist is able to function in this leadership role if he or she is skillful in generating a biopsychosocial formulation of presenting problems and in providing biopsychosocial treatments including pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and family interventions. Where such ability or interest in developing broadly based clinical expertise is lacking, psychiatrists are being relegated to supportive roles, most often as providers of psychopharmacolog- ical management.
