Description

Formerly "The Concise Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry" this text has been redesigned for the Oxford Core Texts series in two colours. This is a short practical textbook for clinical medical students, as well as clinicians and health workers who see patients with psychiatric problems in the course of their practice. The text emphasizes the assessment of psychiatric problems and focuses on their management in everyday clinical practice, giving advice on the management and referral of patients to specialist psychiatrists. In this edition there are numerous tables, advanced information boxes and other features to make the book easy-to-use. There is also a new section on taking an evidence-based approach to psychiatry. The book is intended primarily for medical students in their clinical years, but also for general practitioners and social work and clinical psychology students.
