Hughes’ Outline of Psychiatry, Fifth
Edition presents a comprehensive account of current
practice in psychiatry, summarising up-to-date knowledge of
the subject in a concise way.
Part I touches on general classification, causes and
prevention of mental disorders. It also outlines the basics of the
psychiatric interview, examination and investigation. Part II gives
an overview of the most common clinical syndromes, covering
frequency, epidemiology, causes, clinical features, clinical types,
diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and treatment for each
disorder. Part III focuses on all different treatment options, from
Psychological Treatment to Psychosurgery.
* Fully up-to-date in respect to drugs and treatments,
classification systems, and recent legal developments
* Concentrates on practical clinical techniques rather than
psychiatric theory
* Includes plenty of case studies
* Format ideal for quick reference or revision
This new edition of a well-established and well-received book is
an invaluable textbook for medical and psychology students,
trainees and psychologists. It is also a helpful resource for
mental health nurses, professionals working in health service
management and occupational therapy, general practitioners, and
other non-specialists who need grounding in all practical aspects
of mental health care.
From the reviews of the previous edition:
'The chapters are well structured, maintaining a
balance between remaining comprehensive and interesting. The
addition of illustrative case histories is welcome… a highly
recommended text’ JOURNAL OF SOCIAL PSYCHIATRY
'…very easy to read and the general layout is
excellent… useful as a quick
summary…’ THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF
PSYCHIATRY
