Patient Care Management
This edition of Psychiatric Annals covers several topics in patient care management, including practicing evidence-based medicine and confronting its limitations. We also include an article on problems related to patient adherence to medications, as well as the complicated issue of obtaining informed consent in adolescents. A case presentation rounds out the issue.
