Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry Seventh Edition

Authored by four of the most experienced clinicians and researchers in European psychiatry and neuroscience the Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry provides a coherence and uniformity and balance that is seldom achieved in edited volumes. Now in the seventh edition, it includes more coverage of the field of social psychiatry—a field growing in importance and influence—with the expansion in community mental health services and latest developments in the fast-moving fields of genetics and neuroscience, showing the influence these are having in the field of psychiatry. This book is strong on practical, evidence-based guidance as well as providing succinct analyses of clinical and scientific foundations.
