Frankel (psychiatry, U. of California at San Francisco), Bourgeois, and Erdberg outline a team-based approach psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and physicians, directors, and administrators in multidisciplinary specialty clinics can use to assess and manage complex patients who have systemic medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial comorbidity and demand a lot from the healthcare system. They detail a medical-psychiatric coordinating physician model for working with these patients, discussing the value of having a treatment team to deal with clinical complexity and focusing on how to arrive at the best possible outcomes, know they are optimal, and be sure that they last, and who should oversee the process. They address aspects like complexity in medical and psychometric testing, the limitations of algorithms, negotiating subjectivity and inter-subjectivity in clinical work, intuition, clinical judgment, strategic thinking, and collaboration with the patient, other physicians, and other healthcare professionals, as well as using the model to organize and optimize care, the role and skills of the coordinating physician, training, costs, and implementation. Example cases are provided. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Comprehensive Care for Complex Patients: The Medical-Psychiatric Coordinating Physician Model, by Frankel, Bourgeois and Erdberg, dramatically expands the scope of his clinical model, placing a physician in the leadership position of treatment teams. A graduate of Yale Medical School, he was a National Institute of Mental Health research fellow in pharmacology at Stanford University Medical School. He then trained in psychiatry at the University of California Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center in San Francisco, where he later joined the academic faculty. Dr Frankel then received psychoanalytic training at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute, where he is a member of its faculty. He is an associate clinical professor at the University of California Medical School in San Francisco.
