Psychiatry stands at a crossroads, balancing heightened societal expectations with pointed criticism. Meeting these challenges requires more than diagnosis—it demands a broader approach. Any clinician who assesses a patient solely through DSM or ICD criteria misunderstands the process. Good care begins with accurate diagnosis but extends to the patient’s context: family, upbringing, genetics, physical health, stressors and psychodynamics. Long considered a leading text on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders, this book rejects the caricature of modern psychiatry, offering instead a dedicated, humanistic and common–sense approach.
This latest revision includes cutting–edge updates in psychopharmacology, computational neuroscience and functional neuroimaging. Geared to graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, counselling and related disciplines, it makes practical, readable sense of psychopathology.
