TY - JOUR T1 - Psychiatrists' use of formulation: Commentary on … Psychiatrists' understanding and use of psychological formulation. A1 - Hughes,Patricia M, PY - 2016/8/12/entrez PY - 2016/8/12/pubmed PY - 2016/8/12/medline SP - 217 EP - 9 JF - BJPsych bulletin JO - BJPsych Bull VL - 40 IS - 4 N2 - Both psychologists and psychiatrists are trained to write formulations of their patients' illnesses, with some differences in how they do this. Psychologists focus on psychological understanding, while psychiatrists' formulation brings together aetiology, functioning and a management plan. Mohtashemi et al's study records how some psychiatrists understand formulation and its usefulness. Time pressure was an important barrier to making a full formulation, and some believed the medical role of the psychiatrist was a priority. The study illustrates some of the challenges facing psychiatrists working in the NHS in terms of maintaining high clinical standards and a holistic approach to patient care.
