See what the professionals who have previewed
the book have to say about it:
“…a practical guide for all primary care physicians and for
health care providers who care for patients with psychiatric problems.
The therapeutic recommendations involve situations that are commonly
encountered, and provide straightforward, useful approaches to
difficult problems. This book will be especially valuable to health
care professionals in training or early in their careers.”
Jerry E. Kruse, MD; Chair,Dept. of Family & Community
Medicine, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine
“The book is great…concise, energizing and fun…makes working
with challenging patients easy…The appendices are wonderful…an
outline for patient care management for every scenario that I take
care of each day in practice…incorporating humor, knowledge, and
everyday life situations…This is an excellent way to improve mental
health care within our communities.”
Gail Van Kanegan, RN, MSN, Family Nurse Practitioner;
President, Illinois Society of Advanced Practice Nurses
“…could not have appeared at a more critical time…specifically
addresses the questions and concerns raised by primary care physicians
and provides excellent guidance and consultation. Dr. Seifert writes
in a very personal, witty style full of wonderful anecdotes and
concrete examples… indispensable for non-prescribing therapists…so
they can communicate with psychiatrists and/or primary care physicians
to facilitate patient care…a necessary addendum to any mental health
clinician's library…”

“…Dr. Seifert gives descriptions, identifies symptoms and discusses
treatments, but beyond that, she makes connections that spark the
reader to the “Ah Ha!” of understanding…I know a layperson can
use this manual: after reading this book and the accompanying evaluation
I could clearly see the symptoms of specific problems two of mine
have grappled with for years. We were able to open up discussions
and to get help.”
Elaine V. Harrison, M.Ed., Retired Educator
“As a social worker, I found it very informative in language
that I can understand and utilize. I must admit that I caught myself
laughing out loud at times.The writing style keeps this material
alive and entertaining.”
