A short introduction to psychiatry
A Short Introduction to Psychiatry provides an accessible guide for anyone reading about psychiatry for the first time, whether out of general interest or in the context of training. Linda Gask describes the development of psychiatry as a profession, the route to qualification and the scope of contemporary practice - from child psychiatry to addiction services and forensic psychiatry. Drawing on the experience of people who have been through psychiatric treatment, the book also explores what psychiatry is like from the patient's or user's perspective
