Foundations of Clinical Psychiatry is the trusted introductory text
for students of medicine and other health professions, including
psychiatric nursing, psychology, social work and occupational
therapy. It has also been the essential reference for family
doctors for over quarter of a century. Foundations of Clinical
Psychiatry: Fourth Edition has been revised and updated by five
editors, leaders in their fields, in collaboration with a new
generation of expert psychiatrists. The four-part structure—an
introduction to clinical psychiatry; conditions encountered;
specific patient groups and clinical settings; and principles and
details of typical clinical services, and of biological and
psychological treatments—provides a clear overview of clinical
practice. It also explores the causes of mental illness and the
ethical aspects of its treatment, and covers the full range of
psychiatric disorders encountered by health practitioners. The
fourth edition emphasises biological, psychological and social
factors in assessing and treating patients, includes the integrated
use of DSM-5 classification, and provides further reading
suggestions. It is richly illustrated with dozens of clinical
stories.
Psychiatry: Past, Present, and Prospect brings together
perspectives from a group of highly respected psychiatrists, each
with decades of experience in clinical practice. The topics covered
range from scientific discoveries of all kinds, advances in
treatment, and conceptual breakthroughs. The highlights are
countered by the field's negative sides: perennial indecisiveness
about the boundaries of psychiatry; the limitations of a narrow
approach to human suffering; the retreat from the hope of a de-
institutionalised, community-based psychiatry; the divide between
biological treatments and psychotherapy; the technical and ethical
complexities of psychiatric research; and the low priority given to
psychiatry, especially but far from exclusively in less developed
countries. The result is a text full of collected wisdom which will
promote the curiosity of mental health professionals about key
developments in psychiatry over the past half century; sensitize
the next generation of mental health professionals to the role they
might play in advancing the state of knowledge about mental illness
and its treatment during the course of their careers; and serve as
a valuable archival resource for scholars. This collection of
viewpoints from very experienced leaders in the field of psychiatry
will prove fascinating reading for psychiatrists and allied mental
health professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatric social
workers, psychiatric nurses and occupational therapists, both
trained and in training. It will also offer the interested laity a
balanced account of psychiatry's evolution since the 1950s, and its
likely prospects in the 21st century.
