This new 5th edition combines the strengths of its three editors Robert Hales in clinical and community psychiatry, Stuart Yudofsky in neuropsychiatry, and new co-editor Glen Gabbard in psychotherapy in recruiting outstanding authors to summarize the latest developments in psychiatry. Throughout the 44 chapters, the authors provide a practical and integrative encyclopedia of useful information. This book resets the bar, and will be the new gold standard for years to come. --Ming T.
