Review:
"This is an outstanding revision of the excellent text which has successfully supported many medical students through their training, and into their subsequent clinical careers. Whether the student plans to go into general practice, study psychiatry or become a medical or surgical specialist, this book provides an essential grounding in psychiatry in medical practice." – Professor Rachel Jenkins, Director of WHO Collaborating Centre, Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, and Director of International affairs, Royal College of Psychiatrists, London, UK
"Overall this is an up-to-date, accesible and well-referenced textbook, the sort of straightforward resource that GP's and physicians should have at hand, as a quick update or refresher on what psychiatry is about." - Trevor Turner, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 70, No. 2, Feb 2009
