Solving Conundrums in Clinical Psychiatry

Here is a practical handbook on clinical management that should be of use to all involved in clinical psychiatry. Because the new format of the membership examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists is based on clinical vignettes, this book may be particularly valuable to all students taking this exam as well as others where there is a viva voce examination. A wide range of clinical topics (32 in all) has been covered, and a consistent format has been followed with identifiable sub-headings. Special points of interest and controversy are highlighted in footnotes along with references and useful guidelines for further reading. This concise practical handbook should be of value to all those involved in devising management plans in clinical psychiatry: medical students, senior nurses, social workers, psychologists and other mental health workers.
