Psychopathology is a complicated subject. This book provides an introduction to descriptive psychopathology, the basis of clinical psychiatry. It also covers the controversial area of multiple personality syndrome. It is aimed at psychiatrists, and at those working in related mental health professions such as clinical psychology.
Psychopathology is a complicated subject, and "Symptoms in the Mind" has become one of the standard texts in the field both in Europe and Worldwide. The new edition continues to provide a concise and comprehensive introduction to descriptive psychopathology - the basis of clinical psychiatry. New developments in this area , in particular in neuro-imaging, have resulted in the linking of psychopathological symptoms to specific brain changes and these findings are included in the book. In addition there is increased coverage of the controversial area of multiple personality syndrome. "Symptoms in the Mind 3e" links classical description with more modern work in psychopathology. It is also complementary to the US Standard DSM-IV. Written primarily for psychiatrists, particularly those in training, this book will also be of interest to those working in related mental health professions such as clinical psychology, psychiatric nursing, mental health social work and occupational therapy.
