Psychiatry: a clinical handbook provides all the essential information required for a successful psychiatry rotation. Written by two recently qualified junior doctors and a consultant psychiatrist, the book offers an exam-centred, reader-friendly style backed up with concise clinical guidance.
The book covers diagnosis and management based upon the ICD-10 Classification and the latest NICE guidelines. For every psychiatric condition:
- the diagnostic pathway is provided with suggested phrasing for sensitive questions
- the relevant clinical features to look out for in the mental state examination are listed
- a concise definition and basic pathophysiology/aetiology is outlined.
Self-assessment questions are provided at the end of each chapter. A chapter is dedicated to OSCE scenarios to aid practising with colleagues in preparation for exams. SBA questions with detailed answers written by a Consultant Psychiatrist are also provided.
Printed with an attractive full colour design, the book includes mnemonics, clinical photos, diagrams, OSCE tips and key fact boxes. Psychiatry: a clinical handbook is exactly the type of book medical students, junior doctors and psychiatry trainees need to help develop a strong psychiatric understanding.
From reviews:

“Great book for undergraduate psychiatry. Lots of useful mnemonics and colour coded to aid committing facts to memory.”
“AMAZING! Absolutely love this book! Well structured and covers most topics.”
“Finally a psychiatry book great for quick referencing, with a design made for the modern reader. No more digging through verbose paragraphs of text to get the essential information because it's all provided in bullet points, tables and infograms.”
