The third edition of this award-winning book offers an accessible and fun way of learning about the basic principles and practice of psychiatry.
Psychiatry provides a highly visual experience, with each topic covered across two pages that you can review and digest easily. For each spread there are summary boxes, questions and answers and self-assessment tasks that will help with understanding and revision.
This wonderful book covers a wide range of subjects, from mental health services to different treatments, the full range of disorders, and psychiatry specialisations. It thus provides an ideal introduction to psychiatry for medical students or anyone learning about mental health for the first time.
