"Lecture Notes: Psychiatry" takes a novel and common sense approach to psychiatry. It is written mainly for medical students and junior doctors, although anyone wanting a concise account of the principles of clinical psychiatry will find the book a useful resource. The book emphasizes how psychiatry is not only a specialty, but an essential part of general medical practice. It starts with a clear description of psychiatric assessment, followed by brief but comprehensive accounts of all the important disorders, their causes and treatment. It provides an up-to-date and evidence-based approach that integrates the three core elements of psychiatry: biology, psychology and sociology. Each chapter ends with summary points for revision, and the book includes a series of multiple-choice questions with answers. '...I found this book useful because of its relative simplicity: I was able to use it to understand the core course content in its simplest terms without getting lost in the enormousness of the speciality' - Barts and The London. Pre-publication reviews: '...an essential read for medical students and mental health trainees'; '...concise, readable...altogether a much better read than the usual dense texts of psychiatry'; and, '. ..the chapter on the clinical appraisal of patients is excellent. I will use it in exams as well as in the clinic'.
