Psychiatry Summary

Psychiatry by Professor Janis Cutler (Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons)

Fully updated for DSM-5 and designed specifically for medical students, as well as other trainees in the heath professions, Psychiatry 3e is a dynamic introductory textbook in psychiatry. Ideally suited for first and second year medical students during their psychopathology course and third year medical students during their psychiatry clerkship, the material is presented in a clear, concise, and practical manner perfect for exam preparation. The authors provide a thorough yet concise introduction to clinical psychiatry, focusing on basic clinical skills like recognition and assessment of psychiatric illness. Clinically relevant information is emphasized, including practical interviewing techniques. Psychiatry 3e also uses case studies, DSM-5 guidelines, and extensive tables offset from the text to act as a comprehensive yet concise guide for the busy medical student studying for exams. In response to DSM-5, the third edition has been reorganised and fully updated to include the new disorders and classification of psychiatric illness.

Psychiatry Reviews

The book turns on a masterful balance, where the aetiology of mental disorders is concerned, between neurobiological aspects and interpersonal and developmental issues. . . summaries of key points, usefully located in squares at the edges of the page, make the book more user-friendly. * Joao Mauricio Castaldelli-Maia, Fundacao do ABC, and Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil; International Journal of Social Psychiatry, 2015, Vol. 61 (7) *
The strength of this book is the comprehensiveness of the individual chapters. It is clear that the chapter authors are very knowledgeable in their areas. Readers get a good grasp of the topic, supplemented by excellent case examples. * Doody's Notes *
