Psychiatric Services
Dr Ian Sherman qualified as a psychiatrist in 1995 being elected to the Fellowship of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.
Dr Sherman believes that empathetic listening and conversation is the key to recovering from mental disorders.
Medications and other treatments may also be appropriate, depending on the symptoms.
Treatment Goals
Ian believes that recovery begins with a 'therapeutic alliance' in which the patient and doctor build a trusting relationship. Through this relationship, we develop an understanding of your problems, sometimes looking at past significant relationships and how they influence your current life.
Recovery develops through being heard, understood and cared about.
Sometimes it is necessary to take medication and use other treatments such as behaviour therapy as well.
Experience
Ian has been practising psychiatry for over 25 years. He has extensive experience in the treatment of personality issues, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Ian has also conducted hundreds of medico-legal assessments and written reports in the worker's compensation sphere as well as other medico-legal situations. He offers both plaintiff and defence assessments and reporting and has assisted both NSW and Federal Courts in these matters.
