内容説明

Well established, highly regarded text for undergraduates and a popular resource for junior doctors *Stimulating approach to a complex speciality *Excellent glossary *Case vignettes enhance clinical application of knowledge *Based on ICD-10 *Now includes eg: Clinical audit and psychiatric emergencies This second edition of Student Psychiatry Today adheres to the basic concepts of the original textbook. The authors unravel the complexities of psychiatry to present it in a clear, stimulating and balanced fashion. Information is comprehensive but is concisely set out. It is readable, maintaining a minimal degree of jargon and employing the liberal use of clinical case vignettes, table and diagrams. The extensive glossary is retained. Many new developments have taken place in psychiatric practice over the past few years, and this is reflected in the text changes. Several chapters have been extensively revised and updated to encompass modern approaches to diagnosis, brought about by the ICD-10 classification system. Recent developments in genetic research, brain imaging techniques and drug treatments are all included. The chapters dealing with community and liaison psychiatry have been considerably expanded and new sections are devoted to important topical issues, such as clinical audit and psychiatric emergencies. The thorough revision ensures that the book will continue to be of outstanding value to undergraduates, during both their clinical attachments and eventual preparation for the final medical examinations, as well as to those doctors beginning a new career in psychiatry or general practice.
