Description

Psychiatry in Medical Practice is an essential textbook for medical students and young doctors in training. This new edition retains all the valuable features of the first and has been thoroughly revised and expanded to cover new topics and treatments. The book includes a practical guide to the medical interview; use of the new ICD-10 classification throughout; diagnostic criteria for all the common syndromes of psychiatric illness; up-to-date findings from neurochemistry and epidemiology and an invaluable 'pocket card' summarizing essential information. Straightforward and practical, Psychiatry in Medical Practice demystifies the relationships between the various kinds of mental disorder. It is an excellent introduction to the psychiatric illnesses students are likely to encounter in general medical settings, and also provides clear guidelines for good practice.
