Psychiatry

Autor John Geddes, Jonathan Price, Rebecca McKnight
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2012
Psychiatry introduces medicine students to the subject in a concise, innovative and memorable way. Its patient-centred approach blends a discussion of the theoretical basis of different psychiatric disorders with an explanation of the management of these disorders in everyday clinical practice, using genuine case histories to place the content in a realistic context.

Recognizing that having positive interactions with a patient is central to the provision of successful psychiatric care, the book includes guidance on history-taking and assessment, while also reflecting best practice as set out by current clinical guidelines.

Having undergone an extensive revision for this fourth edition, and covering all the major psychiatric conditions in a logically-structured way, the book is an invaluable guide to all individuals who are likely to encounter those with psychiatric problems, including students of medicine, healthcare, and social work.

Recenzii

The authors have attempted to integrate as much clinical information as possible to highlight important concepts and illustrate complicated ideas. The book is stylistically pleasing and easy on the eyes, which is welcome. The graphs, diagrams, and tables add to the discussion and provide a comfortable break from the reading.

Notă biografică

Rebecca McKnight, General Adult Psychiatrist, Warneford Hospital, Oxford, UK, Jonathan Price, Formerly Director of Medical Studies, Department of Psychiatry, Oxford University, UK, and John Geddes, Professor of Epidemiological Psychiatry, Oxford University, UK

 

 

Rebecca McKnight studied medicine at the University of Oxford and developed an interest in mental health whilst still an undergraduate. Rebecca is particularly interested in the varied clinical manifestations of mood disorders and the epidemiology of psychiatric conditions. Her main research areas have been in using new technologies to monitor mood, and in the efficacy and safety of lithium therapy in bipolar disorder. Rebecca has trained in general adult psychiatry and as well as clinical work, is active in undergraduate teaching and clinical leadership. Rebecca lives in Oxford with her husband and two young sons.

Jonathan Price studied medicine at Cambridge and Oxford, completed an undergraduate degree in Physiology and Psychology, and was committed to a career in psychiatry from his first encounter during his undergraduate attachment. Via Shropshire, Nottingham and Birmingham, he returned to Oxford, where he completed his training in adult psychiatry, old age psychiatry, and psychological medicine, and undertook a research fellowship in health services research. He was responsible for the undergraduate course in psychiatry for 16 years, aiming to encourage medical students to pursue a career in a specialty that is absorbing, challenging, moving and inspiring. He now divides his time between Oxford and the hills and waters of North West Wales.

John Geddes is Head of Department and Professor of Epidemiological Psychiatry at Oxford University. He is also Director of NIHR Oxford cognitive health Clinical Research Facility, and Oxford Cognitive Health and Neuroscience Clinical Trial Unit.
