Psychiatry at a Glance, 6th Edition

Psychiatry at a Glance is an up-to-date, accessible introductory and study text from which to start building your psychiatric knowledge. It is an ideal companion for anyone about to start a psychiatric attachment or module and appeals to medical students, junior doctors and psychiatry trainees, as well as nursing students and other health professionals. It helps develop your skills in history taking and performing the Mental State Examination (MSE), and presents ‘need to know’ information on the basic science, treatment, and management of the major disorders.

This new edition has been updated to reflect the release of DSM5 (published in May 2013), changes to NICE guidelines, and new research in the field.
