Psychiatry: An Evidence-Based Text, Second Edition

This updated version includes new developments in psychiatry since the first edition was published, such as new psychiatric classification systems and new psychotropic medications. It also incorporates the latest syllabus of the Royal College of Psychiatrists for their membership examination. An evidenced-based approach is used throughout, relating theory, research, and basic sciences to clinical practice. The use of numerous color illustrations and key summary points helps clarify concepts and provides useful revision tools.
