Book description
This pocket guide is a must for all clinical medical students and
junior doctors and provides an excellent revision tool in the run-up to
exams. It is also perfect for when working on the psychiatric
attachment, as it covers many of the conditions encountered on the
wards, in clinics, and in general practice. Now thoroughly updated, it
includes new sections on Neuropsychiatry, the Psychiatry of Learning
Disability, Forensic Psychiatry, and Psychotherapy, as well as common
disorders, their assessment and their treatment. Featuring the key
points of the Mental Health Act, along with a glossary of terms,
Rapid Psychiatry
is the ideal refresher, covering just the basic relevant facts.
