Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book is designed to outline the major clinical areas of psychiatry, and the current understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illness is presented in outline form. While only a few physicians specialize in the area of mental illness, almost every physician sees patients with psychiatric disorders in his or her clinical practice. Many surveys of practice patterns reveal that nearly one-half of the patients with psychiatric illness receive most, if not all, of their care from nonpsychiatric physicians. It is clearly necessary then for all physicians to know something about the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illness.
