Over its six editions, the Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry has come to be widely recognised as the standard text for trainee psychiatrists.
This book covers all major aspects of psychiatry in its 26 chapters. It endeavors to cover a number of topics that are not always addressed in general psychiatry books, including behavioral complications of neurological and medical illness as well as complexities that are unique to subspecialty populations [...] Overall, this is a strong addition to the field and it provides a good overview of complex material in a format that is manageable for student learners.
