Foundations of Clinical Psychiatry is an introductory text for students of medicine and other health professions, including psychiatric nursing, psychology, social work and occupational therapy, as well as for family doctors. Using a clear, coherent framework, it emphasizes biological, psychological and social factors in assessing and treating patients, and illustrates this approach with dozens of clinical stories. Rigorously revised and expanded, the second edition brings in no less than thirty-two new contributors. Chapters on ethics, the effects of trauma and the mental health of indigenous people, and a section on the mental health of refugees, are all entirely new.
