Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry
The Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry is a new book directed at medical
students, doctors coming to psychiatry for the first time, psychiatric
trainees, and other professionals who may have to deal with patients with
psychiatric problems. It is written by a group of experienced,
middle-grade psychiatrists and is designed to provide easy access to the
information required by psychiatry trainees on the wards or on-call. It
closely follows the familiar format of the other Oxford Handbooks, and
provides coverage that is comprehensive, evidence based and practical.
The content of the handbook is written in the concise, note-based style
characteristic of the series, with topics confined to single pages. The
book is divided into four sections: Fundamentals of Psychiatric
Practice; General Adult Psychiatry; Psychiatric Subspecialties; and
Useful Reference Material. Within each chapter, topics are covered in a
clear logical manner. For the clinical disorders there is detailed
information on the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, common
differential diagnoses, assessment/investigation, management, and
prognosis. There is an in-depth coverage of psychiatric assessment,
psychopathology, evidence-based practice, mental health legislation in
the UK, therapeutic issues, transcultural psychiatry, and eponyms in
psychiatry. The book is internally cross-referenced and has both key
references to important papers and to further information resources. As
well as being indexed alphabetically, it is also indexed by
ICD-10/DSM-IV codes, and there is a quick index for acute presentations.
This Handbook is practical and directive in style, designed to provide
portable reassurance to doctors beginning psychiatry. There is helpful
advice for the management of difficult and urgent situations
