From the Back Cover
Lecture Notes: Psychiatry takes a novel and common sense approach to psychiatry. It is written mainly for medical students and junior doctors on foundation programmes, although anyone wanting a concise account of the principles of clinical psychiatry will find the book a useful resource.
The book emphasizes how psychiatry is not only a specialty, but an essential part of general medical practice. It starts with a clear description of psychiatric assessment, followed by brief but comprehensive accounts of all the important disorders, their causes and treatment. It provides an up-to-date and evidence-based approach that integrates the three core elements of psychiatry: biology, psychology and sociology.
Each chapter ends with summary points for revision, and the book includes a series of multiple-choice questions with answers.
Review quotes of the previous edition
“...I found this book useful because of its relative simplicity: I was able to use it to understand the core course content in its simplest terms without getting lost in the enormousness of the speciality.”
Barts and The London
Pre-publication reviews
"...an essential read for medical students and mental health trainees”
“...concise, readable...altogether a much better read than the usual dense texts of psychiatry,”
"...the chapter on the clinical appraisal of patients is excellent. I will use it in exams as well as in the clinic"
