Shared Care in Mental Health covers the broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders encountered by the primary care physician. It has been written to provide practical solutions to assist in the management of the common health problems seen in primary care. Shared care means not only care shared between primary and secondary care but also refers to utilising the skills of the non-medical members of the primary healthcare team. This handbook is easy to read, user friendly and is designed to be ‘dipped into’ when faced with a problem in daily practice. It is problem-solving orientated and offers sensible, pragmatic and practical advice.
