| Editorial Review | The chapters are well written and clear and cover the major areas of psychiatry... The authors have succeeded admirably in delivering what they promise, namely, a primer to psychiatry and a revision aid. (Metapsychology, January 2010) "Psychiatry at a Glance, 4th edition, is actually very similar in content to the first edition, published in 1995. However, the new book includes a glossary and further reading lists for each chapter. Aimed at a predominantly European readership, it concentrates on World Health Organization diagnostic criteria but also mentions the DSM system, where appropriate." (Journal of Mental Health, August 2009) |
