Synthesis of Psychiatric Cases

Synthesis of Psychiatric Cases is aimed at the clinical part of postgraduate psychiatry examinations. Each chapter gives clear information on a classic case. In addition, a number of hypothetical cases are included in order to illustrate how varied presentations can be and that the important issues for one case are not necessarily the same as another, despite a similar diagnosis. The book incorporates DSMIV diagnostic criteria together with essential differential diagnoses and management plans. This allows the trainee to build on their theoretical knowledge whilst at the same time emphasising the relevant clinical issues for each patient.
