Psychopathology for Residents

The descriptive tradition, in twelve chapters

The phenomenology set out the way a mental state is actually read, from consciousness to personality.

A companion for descriptive psychopathology, compiled across postgraduate training and drawn from the classical tradition of Fish, Sims, and Jaspers. Twelve chapters move in the order a mental state is examined: consciousness, perception, thought, speech, emotion, the self, memory, motor behaviour, and personality, each with its disorders, the history that shaped the concept, and the exam points that get tested. Built for quick revision on a clinical posting and the night before a viva.
