Review:

Review from previous edition: "...this book is a solid contender in a sea of similar handbooks, and readers will find that its periodic British nomenclature does not compromise its applicability to American Psychiatry......the Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry offers a more impressive breadth of evidence-based material and will undoubtedly be a resource found in the pockets of many practitioners." --Portable Psychiatry: Praise and Aspirations for the Oxford Handbook, American Psychological Association, by Michelle Braun

"Enjoyable, concise, relevant, accesible information, clear, logical, essential reading for anyone in mental health, highly recommended!" --Reader review, Philip Cowin
