Psychological Basis of Psychiatry

A concise textbook of psychology for trainee psychiatrists preparing for examinations. * A concise textbook concentrating on what the trainee psychiatrist needs to know about psychology - trainees at the moment tend to be unhappy with currently available books. * Psychiatric curriculum now lays more emphasis on psychology, psychological formulations and psychotherapeutic interventions, thus increasing the need for a suitable book. * Links normal psychological functioning with abnormal psychology/psychopathology, and stresses applications to clinical practice. * Written by a psychiatrist with extensive experience of what psychiatry trainees need, rather than by a psychologist as with most of the competition.
