For medical students taking their first course in psychiatry or
entering their first clinical clerkship, their early encounters
with psychiatric patients and their need to master vast amounts of
new information on complicated illnesses can be a bewildering,
grueling, and intimidating experience.
Fortunately, these newcomers have a reliable and trusted source
that makes psychiatry more accessible to them. Widely used in
medical schools and allied mental health curricula, the third
edition of Psychiatry for Medical Students is the standard against
which all psychiatric texts for beginning medical students are
measured. This popular book gives medical students, primary care
physicians, nurses, social workers, and psychologists a jargon-free
introduction to the basics, including topics such as schizophrenia,
electroconvulsive therapy, transference, and tranquilizers. The
text also helps the reader develop the basic skills needed to carry
out a diagnostic evaluation and provides systematic coverage of
common psychiatric disorders, groups of patients, specialized
psychiatric fields, special problems encountered among patients
with a broad range of psychiatric conditions, and psychotherapies
and somatic therapies. This updated edition incorporates the
changes in DSM-IV and contains discussions of recent developments
throughout the field. Filled with new references and the latest
research, this book can be used as a quick reference during
clinical work and a starting point for further reading.
