Clinical knowledge, distilled into a handy compendium!
Each article in Advances in Psychiatric Treatment is a
specially commissioned overview of a particular psychiatric subject
by expert clinicians. They discuss comprehensive, practical
approaches to clinical problems and explain the full range of
therapeutic options. Many articles also appear with additional
commentaries. Advances makes an essential contribution to
the continuing medical education of psychiatrists at all levels,
but is aimed at any practising mental health professional who needs
to be kept informed of current ideas, techniques and developments
in psychiatry.
- Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and answers at the end of
each article for self-testing.
- Peer-reviewed by experts in the field.
- Regular editorials and series focus on particular key clinical
topics and current issues.
- Highlighted boxes summarise all the key points.
- Easy to read: two-colour design and useful
sub-headings.
- RCPsych members get online
access free of charge and get a discount on the price of the print
version of around 50%.
