The prevalence of psychiatry in popular culture has coincided with
the rise of amateur "armchair" psychiatrists-and this often serves
to muddy the waters about what, exactly, the field entails. For all
the misconceptions, though, psychiatry is an endlessly fascinating
field, charged with defining and recognizing mental illnesses,
identifying methods for treating them, and discovering their causes
and developing measures to prevent them. Introductory Textbook of
Psychiatry dispels common misunderstandings and delves into what
makes this such an exciting discipline. Now in its seventh edition,
this bestselling guide is organized along the lines of DSM-5 and
has been updated to reflect changes to the manual, including new
medications and therapies. Rigorous in scope, Introductory Textbook
of Psychiatry is nevertheless accessible and conversational in
tone. It employs fascinating case vignettes, clinical pearls,
self-assessment questions, and tables and figures as it offers a
summary of: * The DSM-5 diagnostic system* The neurobiological
basis of psychiatry* Interviewing and assessment-including specific
questions that patients can be asked* The various psychiatric
disorders* Legal issues* Psychiatric emergencies* Treatment
Initially developed for medical students and beginning residents,
this guide is also a valuable reference for nurse practitioners,
physician assistants, social workers, and psychologists. And
because it has been edited to align with the Pocket Guide to
Psychiatric Practice, it makes an excellent companion piece to that
volume, as well.
