Riassunto

The 'Textbook of Psychiatry' prepares students for the range of mental health problems they are likely to encounter on clinical attachments and in practice. Part I addresses the basic concepts in psychiatry and includes practical guidelines to elicit a mental health history, form a management plan, and communicate effectively with patients. The role of psychiatry in primary care is given due prominence in line with the current practice. Part II is organised in clinical topics, covering the most common disorders which students need to know.



Written for medical students, this practical text highlights relevant clinical information in review tables and boxes. By stressing understanding rather than knowledge, the editors have reduced the amount of factual information in line with the current curriculum.

Recensione

I would recommend this book to students who want an up-to-date summary of clinical psychiatry.
The British Journal of Psychiatry

Successfully contributed to the limited number of books available for use by medical students and beginners in psychiatry...the contributors to this book have used simple language, and a format that is very user-friendly...a valuable addition.
Behaviour Research and Therapy

...whilst remaining up-to-date the editors have successfully sifted out much jargon and academic information of questionable value to the medical student [and] have clearly responded to the need to encourage understanding rather than just facts...very much a book for the ordinary student..no hesitation in recommending it as a thoughtful introduction.
International Review of Psychiatry
