EBOOK Psychiatry
Opis
A Very Short Introduction
With diagnoses based on thoughts, behaviour, and emotions, psychiatry has always aroused strong feelings. This book explains what psychiatry is and what it does. It looks at the major illnesses and how they are treated, and outlines a brief history of the subject, focusing on the controversies that have inevitably surrounded it - from political abuse to the very existence or otherwise of both mental illness and 'normality'.
