This spelling and terminology aid for transcriptionists, as well as the doctors, nurses, therapists, and even scribes working in these fields, features lists of over 700 tests and 2600 street drugs (and their chemical equivalents), and an extensive list of fears, manias, and phobias. With the ICD-10-CM system now in use, Psychiatric Words and Phrases offers updated terminology and disorders, along with selective ICD-10-CM codes. There are lists of the major substance-induced disorders or dysfunctions with a sub-list of the possible drugs abused in each category (e.g. “substance-induced anxiety disorder due to: alcohol; cocaine; inhalants etc.”). The eBook version of Psychiatric Words and Phrases also provides a handy list of hyperlinks to the websites of over 200 professional associations and organizations affiliated with the psychiatric, psychological, and communication fields where additional information may be found. A new feature of the eBook is its Quick Find Reference Guide: a list of key words with hyperlinks that should greatly enhance the search process for researchers and others using this reference work.
