An established resource through three editions, the Introductory
Textbook of Psychiatry has been thoroughly revised and tightened up
to make it an even more effective text. The authors, long respected
as teachers, clinicians, and researchers, have trimmed the content
of the previous edition to make the book more practical and easier
to use. Throughout, they continue to interweave recent advances in
psychiatry with the core knowledge that students new to the field
needAfrom grasping the neurobiology and genetics of mental illness
to understanding the DSM system to assessing patients. Hailed as a
Aproven winnerA and a Aclassic text,A this user-friendly volume is
written in an accessible, conversational style for introductory
psychiatry courses or psychiatry clerkshipsAor as an authoritative
introduction to abnormal psychology for students of psychology,
social work, or nursing. It introduces students to a wide range of
psychiatric diagnosesAcovering epidemiology, clinical features, and
treatmentAwhile providing additional coverage of special topics
such as violence and suicide, legal issues that affect psychiatry,
childhood disorders, sleep disorders, and both psychosocial and
somatic therapies. As a teaching resource, it boasts several key
features: -tools that enhance learning, such as compelling case
vignettes and Aclinical pearlsAAeven more numerous in this
editionAplus self-assessment questions -a detailed introduction to
the interview process, including specific questions that the
clinician might ask patients -a critical review of DSM-IV-TR
covering all disorders, arranged by diagnostic class -eleven

and other key points -a single-chapter introduction to the basics
of child psychiatry, covering mental retardation, autism, ADHD, and
more -up-to-date information on drugsAincluding newer
antidepressantsAand guidelines for electroconvulsive therapy -a

either an introductory text or a primary reference, the Textbook
encourages students to appreciate the art and science of
contemporary psychiatry and to enjoy working with psychiatric
patients. And as a concise summary of the field, it also serves as
a reliable and an eminently readable refresher for busy
practitioners.
