|
Textbook of Psychiatry provides practical information of psychopathology, interviewing technique and major clinical issues and aids the students as well as non-psychiatrists in recognizing various psychiatric syndromes and understanding the principles of management. Though the book is aimed at undergraduate medical students, the text should also be interesting to the first year residents in psychiatry, the students of nursing, psychology, physiotherapy as well as to the medical students preparing for the postgraduate entrance examinations. This book can be a good source of information for the general physicians who are the first point of contact for the majority of psychiatric patients.
