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.
- Completely revised edition of classic
text.
- New sections on personality disorder,
cognitive distortion, defence mechanisms, memory and unusual
psychiatric syndromes.
- Updated references to contemporary
literature.
