A Primer of Clinical Psychiatry

Psychiatry contains a complex and ever evolving body of knowledge and the ability to explain the most salient and important features to non-experts requires considerable skill. Castle and Bassett achieve this in A Primer of Clinical Psychiatry. The editors, both eminent Australian psychiatrists, outline their intentions from the outset: “ an easy entry to the pertinent facts of clinical psychiatry for medical students and students of health disciplines; a resource for established clinicians, including general practitioners; and also a brief yet thorough overview for the advanced psychiatric trainee or mental health professional ” . There are already several ‘ recommended texts ’ for medical students and trainees studying psychiatry, so where does A Primer of Clinical Psychiatry sit in the growing pantheon of such books? Is there a need for yet another?
