Psychiatry at a Glance Summary

Psychiatry at a Glance by Cornelius Katona

Psychiatry at a Glance provides a concise and visually-oriented summary of core psychiatric knowledge. It is aimed primarily at clinical medical students undertaking their psychiatry attachment and revising for final examinations. The tables and diagrams encapsulate all a student needs to know in order to pass, whilst the text supplies the extra detail necessary to do well. It is equally useful to those training in allied health professions such as nursing, social work, psychology and pharmacy, and to psychiatric trainees, all of whom will find it a clear and user-friendly overview of psychiatry. This edition has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on psychiatric emergencies has been added. Key references for each chapter are provided, and readers can assess their progress by using the multiple choice questions at the end of the book.
