New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry 3rd Edition (2020) (PDF) by Nancy C. Andreasen

Description

Over its two editions, The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry has come to be regarded as one of the most popular and trusted standard psychiatry texts among psychiatrists and trainees. Bringing together 146 chapters from the leading figures in the discipline, it presents a comprehensive account of clinical psychiatry, with reference to its scientific basis and to the patient’s perspective throughout.

The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry, Third Edition has been extensively re-structured and streamlined to keep pace with the significant developments that have taken place in the fields of clinical psychiatry and neuroscience since publication of the second edition in 2009. The new edition has been updated throughout to include the most recent versions of the two main classification systems—the DSM-5 and the ICD-11—used throughout the world for the diagnosis of mental disorders.

In the years since publication of the first edition, many new and exciting discoveries have occurred in the biological sciences, which are having a major impact on how we study and practise psychiatry. In addition, psychiatry has fostered closer ties with philosophy, and these are leading to healthy discussions about how we should diagnose and treat mental illness. This new edition recognises these and other developments.

Throughout, accounts of clinical practice are linked to the underlying science, and to the evidence for the efficacy of treatments. Physical and psychological treatments, including psychodynamic approaches, are covered in depth. The history of psychiatry, ethics, public health aspects, and public attitudes to psychiatry and to patients are all given due attention.

User’s Reviews

Review “Much gratitude is due to the distinguished editors for bringing us the book, the many first-class authors for contributing their chapters and Oxford University Press for their excellent production. The book will, in my view, continue to occupy a dominant place in the international medicalliterature and, at least for the foreseeable future, could well turn out to be the most widely used and influential reference work of its kind in psychiatry.” — J Guy Edwards, FRCPsych, FRCP, FRCGP(Hon), HonMFPH, DPM, Retired Consultant Psychiatrist, UK, Medico-Legal Journal

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ This is an extremely expensive book as has been pointed out by others. The copy I have has pages 991-1022 duplicated and bound so they appear between pages 478 and 479. Should I tear these pages out? Also the book is supposed to come from the publisher with 5 years free online access to the content, but the publisher’s webpage generates an error so its not accessible and the publisher hasn’t responded to emails. At any price, but particularly with such an expensive item, this should not happen. Finally, I specialise academically and clinically in many of the topics covered in the book. Some chapters are good but others are not. So I don’t think this book is good value for money.

⭐ An expensive book, but a collectable heirloom and worth every penny.
