Laura Weiss - The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry

Advance Praise for

Textbook of Psychiatry, 7th Edition

For all mental health practitioners, all medical practitioners concerned with behavioral health and its integration into holistic care, and for consumers of mental health services, the seventh edition of APA Publishings Textbook of Psychiatry is an indispensable tool and reference to inform practice, lifelong learning, and shared decisionmaking. Comprehensive in scope, this volume reflects admirably the enormous breadth of psychiatric, neuropsychiatric, and behavioral sciences that have continued to evolve. The Textbook of Psychiatry bridges contemporary scientific streams and practice in a balanced and forward-looking way that is rarely achieved. Praise is due to the senior editor, Laura Roberts, for the vision she has brought to this undertaking, fully in keeping with, and furthering, the scholarly tradition launched by the inaugural editors, Robert Hales and Stuart Yudofsky. The volume reminds us all how fortunate we are to have so many authors that represent our profession at its bestas clinicians, educators, and researchers.

In this outstanding new seventh edition of The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry, Laura Roberts has brought together many of the fields luminaries to provide students and practitioners in all branches of the mental health professions the best currently available single volume textbook spanning the entire field. Covering the broad scope of our rapidly changing scientific and clinical domains, following the tradition of its esteemed predecessors, the chapters in this edition offer novices and experts the most contemporary perspectives, frameworks, and evidence necessary to assure intellectual mastery and best clinical practices.

Bigger and better. The seventh edition of APA Publishings Textbook of Psychiatry has added seven new chapters to its immediate predecessor. These additional chapters, along with timely revisions of carry-over chapters, provide the reader with a readable yet comprehensive and up-to-date resource for students, trainees, clinicians, and clinical scholars alike. The goals of the seventh edition, to elucidate the essentials of sound psychiatric practice and to illuminate the future directions of our field, are handily met. The two new chapters I immediately went to were the ones on Assessment of Suicide Risk in the Psychiatric Interview and Standardized Assessment and Measurement-Based Care. Both were thoughtful, evidence based, and clinically focused and added to my understanding of these important topics. Other new chapters, such as ones on social determinants of mental health, precision psychiatry, e-health strategies, and complementary and integrative care, represent critical contemporary topics not yet addressed in most other psychiatry texts. They are a welcome and thought-provoking addition. Throughout the textbook, the selection of chapter authors skillfully blends many of the leading scholars in the field with a refreshing mix of next-generation stars as co-authors. The overall result is an outstanding resource that belongs on the work desk of students, trainees, and clinicians learning about, or treating, mental disorders. If I had to select just one textbook for any of these groups, this would be the one. Congratulations to Dr. Laura Roberts and the many contributors for a job well done.
