Description:... The fourth edition presents, as before, a comprehensive account of current practice in psychiatry. It covers classification, causes and prevention of psychiatric disorder and gives practical information on history-taking, mental state examination and investigation. Each of the major syndromes is discussed, as well as the psychiatry of special age groups and populations. Furthermore, this edition includes advances in psychopharmacology (SSRIs, RIMAs and anti-psychotics) and discusses the effects of NHS reforms, e.g. Community Care.
