The Handbook of Climate Psychiatry and Psychotherapy is one of the first physician-authored books to reflect the daily work of psychiatrists on the effects of climate change. Designed for office- and clinic-based mental health clinicians, it addresses the psychiatric and psychological responses to climate change.
The volume opens with an introduction to climate justice and the ethics and activism of engaging climate change as a psychiatrist and then examines the neuropsychiatric impacts of climate change. Additional sections provide practical guidance on performing climate-informed patient assessments and interventions and review the community, global, institutional, research, and educational aspects of climate psychiatry.
With illustrative case vignettes, useful tables, and handy key points, this guide provides busy clinicians with practical tools to assess and address each patient's symptoms and to foster resilience.
