Synopsis:
An established resource through three editions, the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry has been thoroughly revised and tightened up to make it an even more effective text. The authors, long respected as teachers, clinicians, and researchers, have trimmed the content of the previous edition to make the book more practical and easier to use. Throughout, they continue to interweave recent advances in psychiatry with the core knowledge that students new to the field need from grasping the neurobiology and genetics of mental illness to understanding the DSM system to assessing patients. Hailed as a proven winner and a classic text, this user-friendly volume is written in an accessible, conversational style for introductory psychiatry courses or psychiatry clerkships or as an authoritative introduction to abnormal psychology for students of psychology, social work, or nursing. It introduces students to a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses covering epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment while providing additional coverage of special topics such as violence and suicide, legal issues that affect psychiatry, childhood disorders, sleep disorders, and both psychosocial and somatic therapies.
