Fish’s Clinical Psychopathology: Signs and Symptoms in Psychiatry (third edition)
Patricia Casey and Brendan Kelly
Fish’s Clinical
Psychopathology has shaped the psychiatric training and
clinical practice of several generations of psychiatrists, but has
been out of print for many years. The third edition of this modern
classic presents the clinical descriptions and psychopathological
insights of Fish to a new generation of students and practitioners.
This is an essential text for students of medicine, trainees in
psychiatry and practising psychiatrists. It will also be of
interest to psychiatric nurses, mental health social workers,
clinical psychologists and all readers who value concise
descriptions of the symptoms of mental illness and astute accounts
of the many and varied manifestations of disordered psychological
function.
