Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Interventional Psychiatry: Road to Novel Therapeutics reviews all specialized treatments, including device-based interventions such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS). The book discusses the procedure-based pharmacologic interventions, including ketamine infusion therapy and psychedelic therapies. Internationally contributed, this book outlines the state-of-the-field, as well as implications for training and the role of the interventional psychiatrist in treatment teams. Recent advances in pharmacology and brain stimulation have led to the development of novel treatments for psychiatric disorders, and these new advances have led to the development of a new subspeciality, Interventional Psychiatry.
