Introductory Textbook Of Psychiatry
Hardback Edition: 7
Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry dispels common misunderstandings and delves into what makes this such an exciting discipline. Now in its seventh edition, this bestselling guide is organized along the lines of DSM-5 and has been updated to reflect changes to the manual, including new medications and therapies.
Rigorous in scope, Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry is nevertheless accessible and conversational in tone. It employs fascinating case vignettes, clinical pearls, self-assessment questions, and tables and figures as it offers a summary of:
- The DSM-5 diagnostic system
- The neurobiological basis of psychiatry
- Interviewing and assessment -- including specific questions that patients can be asked
- The various psychiatric disorders
- Legal issues
- Psychiatric emergencies
- Treatment
Initially developed for medical students and beginning residents, this guide is also a valuable reference for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and psychologists.
And because it has been edited to align with the Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice, it makes an excellent companion piece to that volume, as well.
