The Psychiatric Interview In Clinical Practice - Roger A. MacKinnon

Much Has Changed In The Critical Interval Since The Last Edition Of The Psychiatric Interview In Clinical Practice Was Published. This New, Third Edition Provides An Up-to-date Examination Of The Psychiatric Interview That Reflects Changes Introduced In Dsm-5, While Continuing To Recognize That Describing Symptoms And Establishing A Diagnosis Should Command Only A Portion Of The Clinician's Attention, And That A Patient's Personal History Must Be Elicited And Character Structure Addressed In The Clinical Engagement. Significant Advances Have Been Made In Biological Psychiatry, And Research In Genetics, Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychopharmacology, Brain Imaging, And The Neurosciences In General Continues Apace, Informing The Culture Of Psychiatry And Providing Growing Insight Into The Etiology Of Mental Illnesses.
