The book describes a wide-ranging and representative selection of clinical scenarios, making use of icons, questions/answers and tips. It follows these cases through the complete clinical encounter, from start to resolution, acknowledging all the complications, issues, decisions, twists and turns along the way. The book is about living through the treatments that work, the treatments that fail, and the mistakes made along the journey. This is psychiatry in real life – these are the patients from your waiting room – this book will reassure, inform and guide better clinical decision making.

Well written and laid out but often quite extreme pharmacology measures thru poly pharmacy or "heroic" dosing. Still interesting.

Metodo di spiegazione appassionante e interattivo, come per tutti i libri di questa celeberrima serie
