Fully revised and updated for the new edition, the
Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry provides the most
up-to-date information clinically relevant to the doctor
on the ground. Using a presentation-based format it
provides detailed advice on clinical decision making
after diagnosis. This handbook is an indispensable
companion for any professional working in psychiatric
medicine.
Covering all major psychiatric
conditions and sub-specialties, this handbook provides
practical and comprehensive guidelines and in-depth
coverage of psychiatric assessment, psychopathology,
evidence-based practice, therapeutic issues, and
transcultural psychiatry. It is indexed alphabetically
by ICD-10 / DSM-IV classification codes and acute
presentations for quick access. It reflects the recent
major changes to psychiatric training and examination as
well as the latest drug information. Reviewed by
experienced clinicians, and revised by Specialist
Trainees, this handbook not only gives expert advice for
psychiatry professionals, but is also directly relevant
to trainees in psychiatry. For the third edition, new
information includes guidance on Adult ADHD, information
on new drugs of abuse (e,g, GBL, GHB, mephodrone), and
clinical decision-making in the prison setting. With
such broad coverage and depth of guidance, this is the
must-have pocket guide for all professionals and
trainees working in psychiatry.
