Widely recognized as the established textbook for specialists in Psychiatry, the "Oxford Psychiatry - Basic Principles" surpasses the competition by far. Each of the previous editions has contributed to the continuous improvement of the texts, which are characterized by their clear and understandable formulation, the validity of scientific knowledge, and the detailed presentations of psychiatric subjects, a combination of elements that are rarely found in textbooks. Thus, the process of assimilating information is effective and enjoyable.
The book serves as an introduction to all clinical topics, subspecialties, and major mental disorders that a specialist psychiatrist should be familiar with. From the beginning to the end of the book, the authors emphasize the basic clinical skills required for the complete evaluation and understanding of the patient. The analysis of treatments includes not only scientific evidence but also the examination of practical problems related to patient management in the family and social environment. Special emphasis is given to ethical and legal issues arising from the practice of the evidence-based approach discussed in the text.
The introductory chapters focus on the recognition of signs and symptoms, classification and diagnosis, psychiatric assessment, and etiology. The following chapters cover all major psychiatric syndromes and thoroughly cover pharmacological and psychological therapies. The book equally highlights the ICD-10 and DSM-5 classifications, making it relevant to the practice of Psychiatry worldwide - a perspective enhanced by the addition of a new chapter on global mental health. With more concise frameworks, tables, and lists with a new, modern design, the "Oxford Psychiatry - Basic Principles" remains the most up-to-date textbook of secondary psychiatric care available today. The extensive bibliography has been updated, and there are targeted reading lists for each chapter.
The "Oxford Psychiatry - Basic Principles" covers all the needs of specialists in Psychiatry for study and review, but it is also extremely useful for Medical students, general practitioners, professional psychiatrists, as well as professionals in related fields who need to be informed about current practices in Psychiatry.
