Widely recognized as the standard text for trainee psychiatrists,
the Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry stands head and shoulders
above the competition. The text has been honed over seven editions,
displaying a fluency, authority, and insight rarely found in
textbooks which makes the process of assimilating information
effective and enjoyable. The book provides an introduction to all
the clinical topics, sub-specialties, and major psychiatric
conditions required by the trainee psychiatrist. Throughout, the
authors emphasize the basic clinical skills required for full
assessment and understanding of the patient. Discussion of
treatment includes not only scientific evidence, but also practical
problems in the management of patients in a family and social
context. Full attention to ethical and legal issues is given within
the evidence-based approach to practice provided in the text.
Introductory chapters focus on recognition of signs and symptoms,
classification and diagnosis, psychiatric assessment, and
aetiology. Further chapters deal with all the major psychiatric
syndromes, as well as providing detailed coverage of
pharmacological and psychological treatments. The book gives equal
prominence to ICD and DSM classifications - often with direct
comparisons - making the book relevant to the practice of
psychiatry throughout the world. Boasting greater use of summary
boxes, tables, and lists within a new modern design, the Shorter
Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry remains the most up-to-date secondary
level textbook of psychiatry available. The extensive bibliography
has been brought up-to-date and there are targeted reading lists
for each chapter. The Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry fulfils
all the study and revision needs of psychiatric trainees, but will
also prove useful to medical students, GPs, qualified
psychiatrists, and those in related fields who need to be kept
informed with current psychiatric practice.
