From the Inside Flap
Now in its seventh edition, Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry remains the seminal gateway to this fascinating field. Organized along the lines of DSM-5® and updated to reflect changes to that manual, it includes information on the latest diagnostic approaches and therapies and medications.
This volume summarizes the DSM-5® diagnostic system, various psychiatric disorders and treatments, interviewing and assessment, psychiatric emergencies, legal issues, and more. Other features, such as clinical points, self-assessment questions, and an exhaustive glossary of terms, add to the educational value and enhance learning.
Thorough in its scope, this guide is an accessible primer on the basics of psychiatry not only for medical students and residents but, indeed, for anyone interested in the human brain, its maladies, and how to treat patients with these disorders.
