A clinically oriented, comprehensive textbook primarily for senior psychiatry residents and practicing psychiatrists, but also usable as a reference for physicians in other specialties such as family practice, internal medicine, and neurology. New chapters have been added to the 1988 and 1994 editions to address primary care, managed care, practice guidelines and a practice research network, neuropsychiatry, and the future of the specialty. Information in other chapters has been updated as well, which cover the broad areas of theoretical foundations, assessment, psychiatric disorders, treatments, and special topics. Two companion volumes being produced are Essential of Clinical Psychiatry , which collects half of the 50 chapters here for use by medical students in their third and fourth year, and a study guide for it. The CD-ROM contains the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and other material that was appended to the earlier volumes. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. Read Less
