Although the field of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has experienced significant growth since the first system was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2008, many practitioners remain unsure about how best to apply TMS.
This second edition of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice highlights and addresses this issue. Building on the foundational material of the first edition, this volume has been updated to reflect the latest research and evolving clinical practice. Readers will find practical guidance on patient selection and practice management as well as expanded content on integrating pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy with TMS.
Key updates to this edition include a chapter on the use of TMS in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, new guidance on using TMS in the treatment of major depressive disorder, and a section featuring a discussion on the latest developments in and future directions of TMS technology.
With its blend of current research and illustrative clinical vignettes, this book is an invaluable resource for practitioners at all levels of experience who want to stay at the forefront of their field, make more informed decisions regarding patient care, and ensure treatment effectiveness.
