Product Description

Product Description
The Maudsley Handbook of Practical Psychiatry has long served trainees in psychiatry, presenting them with practical and essential advice. This new edition of the handbook, perhaps better known as the 'Orange book', provides guidance on the psychiatric and neuropsychiatric examination and interviewing of adults and children - not just a central skill, but the basis for reaching a diagnosis and defining a treatment plan. It also covers special interview situations, such as dealing with specific patient reactions, and other special problems, for example, conducting a complicated assessment in cases of autism or self harm. The final chapters explain when to refer to the experts and describes early treatment interventions. The book concludes with important legal and service organisation issues. As with previous editions, the new edition has been revised and rewritten with the full and active involvement of a group of consultant psychiatrists and trainees.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vital guide to psychiatry for all mental health workers!, 8 Nov 2004
This review is from: The Maudsley Handbook of Practical Psychiatry (Oxford Pocket Medicine) (Paperback)
I'd previously heard of the 'Orange Book' a few years ago, but had never actually come across it. When I recently started a new job in mental health, I decided to actually buy myself a copy.

The book is pocket sized with a plastic cover, which is obviously designed to be carried around in the junior doctor's white coat during the psychiatric ward rounds! However, don't let that put you off buying a copy for yourself, because if you're a mental health worker/nurse it will be equally as useful.

The book is divided into chapters covering a vast range of topics including a detailed explanation of the Mental Health Act 1983 (including the proposed changes), child and adolescent psychiatry, when to refer to specialists, drug and alcohol misuse, eating disorders, treatments for mental illness including ECT, in addition to several checklists and formats for interviewing older people, adults and children presenting with psychiatric symptoms. One of the most useful chapters is on dealing with specific problems commonly encountered in psychiatry such as how to cope with clients becoming dependent on you, buying you gifts, requesting you prescribe controlled drugs etc.

Overall, the Maudsley Handbook of Practical Psychiatry is essential reading for all professionals working in the area of mental health, and even those who simply have a personal interest in psychiatry including mental health service users themselves.
