Some pencil underlining to sections of text - easily removed. The theory and practice of psychiatry remains fragmented and diverse despite many attempts to impose consistency upon the subject. The reason for this can be attributed to the existence of different schools of psychiatric thought which each take a different approach to assessment and management. Written in straight-forward language using a frank and unbiased outline the book explains the advantages and deficiences the different models underpinning schools of psychiatric thought have.
