Little Black Book of Psychiatry is a concise guide to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. The first part of the book presents the diagnostic interview, provides a format for the psychiatric report and describes common psychiatric signs and symptoms. Subsequent parts deal with virtually every psychiatric disorder, in each instance providing information about epidemiology, symptomatology, laboratory data, course, complications, etiology, differential diagnosis and treatment. Finally, a practical review of psychopharmacology and electroconvulsive treatment is provided.
