Publisher's Synopsis
Arguing that the role of the psychiatrist is a relevant and important one, this book insists that psychiatrists cannot simply be replaced by psychologists. Nowadays, there is a tendency to limit the scope of psychiatrists to behavioral neurobiology, trusting other specialists who aren't medical doctors to take care of the more psychological aspects of mental suffering. The facts provided by this book contradict this view and offer a new panorama of the types of psychotherapies that future psychiatrists will use. This panorama favors a conceptual integration of theoretical models, seeks therapeutic factors common among different techniques, and is more aware of the relationship between the psychotherapist and the patient. "Arguyendo que el rol del psiquiatra es uno relevante e importante, este libro insiste en que los psiquiatras no pueden ser simplemente reemplazados por psicologos. Existe la tendencia hoy en dia de limitar el campo de accion de los psiquiatras a la neurobiologia comportamental, encomendandoles a otros especialistas que no son medicos los aspectos mas psicologicos del sufrimiento mental. Los datos aportados por este libro contradicen esa impresion y ofrecen un panorama nuevo del tipo de psicoterapia que los psiquiatras futuros asumiran. Ese panorama favorece una integracion conceptual de los modelos teoricos, busca factores terapeuticos comunes a diferentes tecnicas y tiene mas en cuenta la relacion real entre terapeuta y paciente.
