New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry (2 Volume Set)



The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry is the definitive source for all
psychiatrists and trainees, now available for the first time in
paperback at low cost. It covers all areas of general psychiatry in
depth, and includes sections on each of the subspecialties (for example
child psychiatry and forensic psychiatry). It is designed to be used by
those in higher training, for continuing education and reaccreditation,
and as a specialists’ reference.
The textbook has been planned with the three themes of contemporary
psychiatry in mind. First, the subject has become more unified: there
are no longer competing theoretical schools; the biological and
psychosocial models have been largely reconciled; and the scientific and
clinical points of view have been brought together in an evidence-based
approach. The second theme is the importance of the social context in
which psychiatry is practised, particularly as this takes place
increasingly in the community. Thirdly, the practice of psychiatry is
becoming increasingly similar in different countries; this book takes a worldwide approach with expert contributions from many countries.
Accounts of clinical practice are linked to the underlying science, and
to the evidence for the efficacy of treatments. Physical and
psychological treatments, including psychodynamic approaches, are
covered in depth. The history of psychiatry, ethics, public health
aspects, and public attitudes to psychiatry and to patients, are all
given due attention. The book opens with a subject which is central to
the editors’ view of the practice of psychiatry; the patient’s
experience of psychiatric illness.
Oxford University Press now publishes an integrated set of psychiatry
textbooks offering a high-quality book for every stage of training.
Psychiatry: an Oxford Core Text is ideal for medical students; trainees
will continue to find the Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry an ideal
grounding in the practice of psychiatry which is particularly
appropriate for postgraduate examinations;
and the New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry completes the trinity with a
truly international, comprehensive, and scientifically based reference
work. This new paperback edition brings the New Oxford Textbook of
Psychiatry within the reach of every practising psychiatrist
