Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice (EPUB)

Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice: A Comprehensive Resource for Mental Health Professionals

The highly anticipated Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice is a portable and concise companion to the acclaimed Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, Sixth Edition. This handy guide is designed for residents, medical students, and health professionals to carry with them on clinical rotations, providing essential information for patient assessment and clinical management in a convenient and easily accessible format.

Mirroring the Parent Textbook

The Pocket Guide takes the same premise as its parent textbook, emphasizing that physicians, regardless of their role in medicine, should be able to define and recognize mental illnesses, identify treatment methods, and contribute to discovering their causes and implementing preventive measures.

Up-to-Date Information and New Features

This DSM-5 compatible guide includes criteria sets for the most common disorders encountered by learners, organized to follow the developmental lifespan. The author, co-editor of the larger text, has retained the successful attributes while adding new, user-friendly features, including:

  • Completely up-to-date information on all disorders and newly released medications
  • A writing style that is engaging, consistent, and highly accessible, with no redundancy
  • A wealth of tables, lists, and other strategies for presenting information in a concise and easy-to-understand manner
Organized for Learning and Reference

The content is organized in parallel with the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, making it easier to locate additional learning resources, such as case vignettes, useful clinical “pearls,” self-assessment questions, and a glossary of terms, as needed.

The Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice is a highly readable, interesting, and useful resource for medical students and residents in their first years of training. It is also beneficial for individuals seeking psychiatric training from the perspectives of other disciplines, such as nursing or social work.

Combine the Pocket Guide with the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry and the Study Guide to Introductory Psychiatry to create a comprehensive library of resources on psychiatric disorders and their assessment, setting the stage for lifelong learning.
