Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry/IV (4th Ed)

Abstract

This textbook [50 chapters with 201 subsections] constitutes the most thorough, complete, integrated, and revised book of record of clinical psychiatry. The material is sufficiently comprehensive in scope to prepare the reader thoroughly to meet the standards of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as well as the National Board of Medical Examiners. This book forms part of a tripartite effort by the editors to provide a thorough educational system for both student and practitioner to facilitate the learning of psychiatry and to serve as a lifelong reference to the field.

The clinical chapters draw heavily on the basic sciences of psychiatry in describing the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. This integration of clinical science reflects the dramatic changes that are happening in psychiatry at a tempo whose rate is increasing exponentially.
