Psychiatry at a Glance by Cornelius Katona
The at a Glance series is popular among medical students and junior doctors for its concise and simple approach and excellent illustrations. Each bite-sized chapter is covered in a double-page spread with colour summary diagrams on the left page and explanatory text on the right.
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.
