A clinically oriented, comprehensive textbook of psychiatry, for use principally by psychiatric residents and practicing psychiatrists, but also suitable as a reference for physicians in other specialties, and as an introduction to psychiatry for medical students. This edition is 20% larger than the first edition (1988), reflecting the substantial increase in the knowledge base of psychiatry. The multi-authored volume contains 45 chapters grouped into five sections: theoretical foundations; assessment; psychiatric disorders; psychiatric treatments; and special topics. As in the first edition, two appendices are included: the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV and excerpts from the American Psychiatric Glossary , 7th edition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
