The Essentials of Postgraduate PsychiatryCambridge University Press, 1997 M08 21 - 843 pages The third edition of this highly successful postgraduate psychiatry text offers a comprehensive review of the characteristic causes and treatment of the main psychiatric disorders. As with earlier editions, it is divided into four parts: General Principles, Clinical Disorders, Psychiatry in Special Settings, and Principles of Treatment. It is also extensively referenced throughout and emphasizes the relationship of research findings to clinical practice. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated in line with the most recent developments in psychiatric practice and thinking. In particular, the editors include more discussion of measurement issues, concepts of illness, brain function, and neurophysiology. The already distinguished team of contributors has been made even more impressive by the addition of new stars in the field. |
