This second edition of Student Psychiatry Today adheres to the basic concepts of the original textbook. The authors unravel the complexities of psychiatry to present it in a clear, stimulating and balanced fashion. Information is comprehensive but is



concisely set out. It is readable, maintaining a minimal degree of jargon and employing the liberal use of clinical case vignettes, table and diagrams. The extensive glossary is retained. Many new developments have taken place in psychiatric practice



over the past few years, and this is reflected in the text changes. Several chapters have been extensively revised and updated to encompass modern approaches to diagnosis, brought about by the ICD-10 classification system. Recent developments in



genetic research, brain imaging techniques and drug treatments are all included. The chapters dealing with community and liaison psychiatry have been considerably expanded and new sections are devoted to important topical issues, such as clinical audit



and psychiatric emergencies. The thorough revision ensures that the book will continue to be of outstanding value to undergraduates, during both their clinical attachments and eventual preparation for the final medical examinations, as well as to those



doctors beginning a new career in psychiatry or general practice.
