Campbell's Psychiatric Dictionary is widely recognized as the
definitive dictionary of psychiatry--up-to-date, comprehensive, and
authoritative. Distinguished by its clarity and scholarship, it is
unique among dictionaries in providing nearly encyclopedic
discussions of many of the most important entries.
The Ninth Edition is nearly double the size of the previous
edition and has been updated, revised, and vastly expanded to cover
the explosion of new words and terms in psychiatry (including terms
reflective of the debate now informing the development of the
DSM-V), neuroscience, cognitive and clinical psychology, and
neurodegenerative diseases as well as relevant terms and concepts
from a wide range of related fields, including genetics, imaging,
general medicine, forensic psychiatry, and sociology. It also
covers the full range of treatments, including psychopharmacologic
agents, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, interpersonal therapy,
and other brief therapies. The entries are clearly written, so that
they can be understood by non-psychiatrists (including general
readers), and they feature cross-references, so that readers can
easily locate all the relevant information on a topic.
Campbell's is written for the working library of a broad and
diverse readership of specialists and non-specialists that includes
psychiatrists, residents, neurologists, psychologists, nurses,
social workers, counselors, lawyers, claims reviewers, and lay
readers with an interest in mental health issues.
