Description
This work presents psychiatry as essentially a branch of medicine, looking at the subject from the standpoint of scientific investigation rather than from an ideological or idealistic one. The topics covered range from a psychosocial view of depression to residential care. The contributors list represents a multi-disciplinary team approach, with contributions from many non-psychiatrists.
