Psychiatrie a pedopsychiatrie

The publication provides a comprehensive overview of the field, taking into account current developments and changes resulting from the new International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). It also includes a detailed section on child and adolescent psychiatry, a field whose importance is currently rapidly growing.
The collective of authors consists of experts from medical schools and regional clinical centres, ensuring a connection between theoretical knowledge and the day-to-day reality of the field. In addition to key diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, the book also explores topics that are not sufficiently covered in Czech textbooks, including liaison psychiatry and psychosomatics, community care and reform of the field, emergency situations, and the role of nursing care.
The book also addresses cross-cutting themes in contemporary medicine, such as ethical considerations, suicidality, and issues concerning minorities. Strong emphasis is placed on communication with patients from many different perspectives, in all its complexity, which represents a key aspect of modern, patient-centred care.
The textbook is intended primarily for medical students and physicians in training and practice in the fields of psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry. It may also be useful to other professionals in the field of mental health and related disciplines.
