Clinical Psychiatry

Great and Consice'I have been a psychotherapist for over 26 years my encounter with psychiatric illness is often, therefore, I have to go back and read to keep my mind fresh. This book is not only for the novice but for the seasoned therapist it covers a lot in a short paragraph you don't have to think " Do I have to read all this" the info is there. So this book should be on every Mental Health Clinician shelf without a doubt.' Amazon reviewer
