"In today’s world of managed care and psychiatric institutions, one wonders what the role of clinical psychologists is in inpatient settings. This much-needed book answers this question by bringing together a collection of chapters written by international experts with years of inpatient experience. We learn that psychologists bring their special understanding of the unconscious and their ability to navigate interdisciplinary teams and to help assuage the anxiety faced when working with serious mental illness. Psychological treatment, supervision, testing, and team work are all discussed in this book, which I recommend to beginners and experienced clinicians alike."
Danielle Knafo, Ph.D., Professor, Long Island University, and author of Living with Terror, Working with Trauma: A Clinician’s Handbook
"This book presents the many ways in which psychologists in inpatient settings serve as leaders in promoting recovery. The focus on developing rich, person-centered formulations and partnering with individuals served makes this text a useful resource for psychologists from all theoretical backgrounds. For the experienced CBT clinician, you’ll find familiar concepts of collaboration, empathy, and understanding as they present in the unique context of inpatient care, and you will also see where these approaches overlap in many ways with those of our psychodynamic and attachment-oriented colleagues. This book is written for those like me who have a passion for providing recovery-oriented and formulation-driven treatment."
Ellen Inverso, PsyD, co-author of the forthcoming book Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy for Schizophrenia
"Thoughtful clinical psychologists, from six countries and a multitude of perspectives, offer their reflections and practical suggestions, all based on real experiences, and a clear commitment to humanizing an often dehumanizing setting. This will be invaluable for clinical psychologists all over the world."
Professor John Read, University of East London, editor of ‘Models of Madness’"This book is something of a landmark, an international study of the role clinical psychologists play in inpatient settings, working mainly with people experiencing psychosis."
David Kennard, Retired Clinical Psychologist and Group Analyst, York, UK, in Clinical psychology in the mental health inpatient setting: international perspectives, Psychosis.
"Clinical Psychology in the Mental Health Inpatient Setting is a welcomed text for practicing clinicians, regardless of their professional setting or experience with inpatient populations…Turel, Siglag, and Grinshpoon bring together a group of exemplary clinical scholars, each of whom makes a meaningful contribution to the text, just as they have to the lives of the most severely ill amongst us. As such, Clinical Psychology in the Inpatient Mental Health Setting is a worthwhile read."
Anthony F. Tasso, Fairleigh Dickinson University, book review in NJ Psychologist (Winter, 2021, vol 71).
