Abstract
In the present handbook, our scope is less broad. We shall attempt to give a brief, and so far as possible, factual presentation of the major clinical psychiatric problems that the general practitioner and medical student will commonly encounter in hospitals, clinics, and private practice. As much as possible, this book will be organized as are other medical synopses to serve as a convenient easy reference. The major topic headings of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders will be used. Where knowledge exists, the histological, physiological, or chemical pathology of the brain will be described. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
