Widely used as the core text for psychiatry clerkships and a board review for psychiatry residents, Clinical Psychiatry for Medical Students is now in its revised, updated Third Edition. The text emphasizes the biopsychosocial model as a framework for clinical psychiatry and includes many clinical examples. Current DSM-IV diagnostic categories are used throughout the book. This edition features a new chapter on legal issues in psychiatry and completely rewritten chapters on biopsychosocial assessment and case formulation; delirium, dementia, and other disorders associated with cognitive impairment; schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders; personality disorders; mood disorders; anxiety disorders; geriatric psychiatry; dissociative disorders; psychiatric disorders of childhood and adolescence; biological therapies for mental disorders; basic principles of pain management; and behavioral medicine strategies for medical patients.This text is particularly effective when used in conjunction with Stoudemire's Human Behavior: An Introduction for Medical Students, also in its newly revised Third Edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
not just for medical students,
By erica2 (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clinical Psychiatry for Medical Students (Paperback)
This is a clear, readable, medically accurate account that is suitable for laypersons as well as med students. It's like the Merck manual but really goes into detail about psychiatric conditions and how they might be treated. Plus it gives some insider tips identified in the text as "clinical pearls" that that med students must learn but which doctors will often not divulge. An incredibly useful book if you or anyone in your life has a psychiatric/psychological problem. Includes a lot of additional information i.e. dealing with sexual abuse, geriatric psychological problems, teen problems, etc.
