Riassunto

The novice in psychiatry requires a skeletal framework which he can clothe progressively with more detail and sophisticated understanding.

To allow for the acquisition of basic concepts, review and revision, any provisional framework should of necessity be concise and unpretentious. In this book Dr. Michael Levi has succeeded in creating a good starting point for the retention of new knowledge, which can then be built on through diverse reading and clinical experience. A.
