Reviews

This is a useful tool for psychiatrists looking to get involved in improving their patients' lives beyond the office appointment. Each chapter presents clear objectives and offers examples of how to successfully practice advocacy as per interviews with prominent psychiatrists. Although the book does not include a section on systemic racism, it acknowledges its importance along with other social determinants of health. There are not many guides that assemble this number of tools and resources in one place for psychiatrists to access when looking for ways to further help their patients, and for that I strongly recommend it. -- Zachary Cohen Hommer, M.D. * Doody's Book Reviews *
