Lecture Notes Psychiatry
Lecture Psychiatry takes a novel and common sense approach to psychiatry. It is written mainly for medical students and junior doctors, although anyone wanting a concise account of the principles of clinical psychiatry will find the book a useful resource.
The book emphasizes how psychiatry is not only a specialty, but an essential part of general medical practice. It starts with a clear description of psychiatric assessment, followed by brief but comprehensive accounts of all the important disorders, their causes and treatment. It provides an up-to-date and evidence-based approach that integrates the three core elements of biology, psychology and sociology.
Each chapter ends with summary points for revision, and the book includes a series of multiple-choice questions with answers.
“…I found this book useful because of its relative I was able to use it to understand the core course content in its simplest terms without getting lost in the enormousness of the speciality.”

Pre-publication reviews
"…an essential read for medical students and mental health trainees”
“…concise, readable…altogether a much better read than the usual dense texts of psychiatry,”
"...the chapter on the clinical appraisal of patients is excellent. I will use it in exams as well as in the clinic"
