Description
This book has been designed to be a general textbook for postgraduate students of psychiatry. The main emphasis of the book is on the phenomenon of psychiatric illness and, above all, on treatment. Six chapters are devoted to therapy and most of the clinical chapters are concerned with treatment. The text includes a series of chapters devoted to other disciplines: the social sciences; psychology; neuroanatomy; neuropharmacology; neurochemistry; and statistics. This provides clinicians with basic, up-to-date information about aspects of these disciplines with a direct bearing on their own.
