Guide To Psychiatric Research

By Arthur Yuwiler and Lennart Wetterberg

The Guide to Psychiatric Research introduces research methodology to psychiatric residents, and grew out of research training seminars with medical students, residents, and physicians. This book illuminates some of the many medical problems leading to apparent conflicts in the news and in medical literature, and suggests factors to be considered in further studies. Divided into three broad sections, this guide points to the problems inherent in inadvertent population selection, the effects of necessary exclusion criteria on various phases of drug testing and the influence of the conceptual problems underlying diagnosis on establishing etiology. Section one introduces scientific problems, their sources and factors in evaluation. The second and more substantive section critically discusses the methodologies in psychiatric and behavioral research. The third, an appendix in semi narrative form provides information on how to read and write papers and grants and how to evaluate editorial feedback. Free of technical jargon and easy to read, this text provides the perfect guide for clinical researchers as well as psychiatric residents.
