Trade Review"I really liked this book. It was a pleasure to review as in spite of the fact that it looks large and 'academic' the text is so well-written that I became engrossed in some chapters, reading as a book, rather than skimming to find the information that I needed."
BMA Medical Book Awards 2010
Though the book is written for the trainees of MRCPsych... it will be useful for all students of psychiatry and allied disciplines around the globe as well as for consultant psychiatrist for ready reference ... [the editors have] succeeded in the attempt to provide the sound foundation of evidence- based theoretical knowledge required for psychiatric practice
