An up-to-date and concise book providing all the essential information required for a successful psychiatry rotation.

Written by two senior psychiatry professors, the book offers an exam-centered, reader-friendly style backed up with concise clinical guidance.The book covers diagnosis and management based upon the DSM-5 Criteria. For every psychiatric condition:

• the diagnostic pathway is provided with suggested phrasing for sensitive questions
• the relevant clinical features to look out for in the mental status examination are listed
• a concise definition and basic pathophysiology/etiology is outlined.

To aid your learning, self-assessment questions are provided at the end of each chapter. A chapter is dedicated to OSCE scenarios to help practicing with colleagues in preparation for exams. Board-style exam questions with detailed answers are also provided.

Printed with an attractive full color design, the book includes mnemonics, clinical photos, diagrams, OSCE tips, and key fact boxes. Clinical Psychiatry is exactly the type of book medical students, residents, and psychiatry trainees need to help develop a strong psychiatric understanding.

From reviews: "This is a well-organized, easily accessible overview of psychiatry for learners, specifically medical students rotating in psychiatry... a wonderful resource for those looking for a general introduction to clinical psychiatry." Doody's Reviews, April 2020

Clinical Psychiatry has been adapted for the US market from Psychiatry: a clinical handbook.

Great and Consice
'I have been a psychotherapist for over 26 years my encounter with psychiatric illness is often, therefore, I have to go back and read to keep my mind fresh. This book is not only for the novice but for the seasoned therapist it covers a lot in a short paragraph you don't have to think " Do I have to read all this" the info is there. So this book should be on every Mental Health Clinician shelf without a doubt.' Amazon reviewer
