Seller's Description:
"The Perspectives of Psychiatry" by Paul R. McHugh and Phillip R. Slavney, in its softcover Second Edition (1986, reprinted with corrections), is offered in Very Good to VG+ condition. The covers exhibit excellent preservation with only a hint of shelf wear, and the binding is both square and tight, ensuring durability. A minor abrasion is noted on the half-title page, but overall, the interior pages are clean and unmarked, contributing to the book's well-maintained status. Substantially revised to include a wealth of new material, the second edition of this highly acclaimed work provides a concise, coherent introduction that brings structure to an increasingly fragmented and amorphous discipline. McHugh and Slavney's approach emphasizes psychiatry's unifying concepts while accommodating its diversity. Recognizing that there may never be a single, all-encompassing theory, the book distills psychiatric practice into four explanatory diseases, dimensions of personality, goal-directed behaviors, and life stories. These perspectives underlie the principles and practice of all psychiatry. With an understanding of these fundamental methods, readers will be equipped to organize and evaluate psychiatric information and to develop a confident approach to practice and research. For shipment, the book will be meticulously packaged to protect it from any potential damage during transit. An electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge through USPS.
