✦ Synopsis

Examination Notes in Psychiatry now in its fourth edition is a text for psychiatry residents, psychiatrists and mental health professionals alike. This new edition maintains the core of valuable information that is required by any-would-be psychiatrist, but has been completely revised and updated. Assessment and diagnosis form the foundation of each section, but are now enhanced by the inclusion of treatment algorithms and evidence based medicine. Changes to nomenclature have been made to reflect current practice. The fully revised reading lists lead the reader to the latest papers and publications, and a glossary of relevant websites will provide even further resources- whether during the revision process or for the professional requiring a rapid reference between consultations.
