This book is intended for the use of mental health professionals interested in using a practical, individualized data driven approach to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Empirical method is a scientific concept that suggests that the information is gained by means of observation, experience or experiment. The evidence derived by observation alone should be the measure of using a technique or method. This book illustrates this approach to the field of psychiatry to improve practice. Screenshots from software for handheld devices such as iPhone, Android and Blackberry are used to illustrate this approach.
Practical, orderly steps to treat psychiatric disorders including ADHD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders and schizophrenia are included. A measurement based treatment is suggested to improve and analyze outcomes.
