It is indexed alphabetically by ICD-10 / DSM-IV classification codes and acute presentations for quick access. It reflects the recent major changes to psychiatric training and examinations.
The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry brings together over 200 chapters from the leading figures in the discipline, it presents a comprehensive account of clinical psychiatry.
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 included.

The resource provides an introduction to all the clinical topics required by the trainees, including all the sub-specialties and major psychiatric conditions.
