7th Edition
by Femi Oyebode (Author)
Psychopathology
– the study of abnormal mental states – is a foundational discipline of
psychiatry that is formidable to master. Since 1988, Sims’ Symptoms in the Mind
has been the leading introductory textbook in this area and provides
the conceptual backbone needed by every psychiatrist in training. It
defines and explains the main symptoms and syndromes of mental illness
encountered in clinical practice.
Now in its seventh
edition, the text has been fully revised and updated by renowned
psychiatry professor Femi Oyebode. It provides a masterful introduction
to this difficult area that will challenge the reader intellectually,
while at the same time supporting his or her learning.
With
a combination of accessible text and audiovisual materials in the
online ebook, this is the standard postgraduate text for psychiatric
trainees as well as a valued reference for academics, clinical
psychiatrists and psychologists, allied health professionals, and
researchers.
