A multiperspective model of formulation is presented to help psychiatry residents assess and treat the disorder or condition presented by an individual. A grid encourages the practice of differential therapeutics and treatment integration. This grid allows an assessment to be made in each area, then a variety of treatments are suggested. Although written specifically for psychiatry residents, this book will help students in medicine, psychology, and social work to treat their patients comprehensively. It also can be used as a teaching tool, either in a seminar or rounds format; the latter of which is being practiced at McMaster University, Hamilton, Onatrio, where Dr. Weerasekera teaches and practices.
