About this title

From the Author:

'Introducing Psychiatry' (2004) is the third book in a trilogy of related titles written for Icon Books: the first being the hugely successful international bestseller 'Introducing Psychology' (1999); the second being the popular 'Introducing Psychotherapy' (2003).

The main purpose of 'Introducing Psychiatry' is to provide a straight-forward summary of the subject for all teenagers and adults. As well as summarizing everything anyone would need to know about what happens in practice when a person visits a psychiatrist, there are criticisms and cautions about the way some psychiatrists work and what they do. There are also warnings about the future, if psychiatry - indeed society as a whole - does not change.

About the Author:

Nigel C. Benson is also the author of Icon Books international best-sellers Introducing Psychology and Introducing Psychotherapy.
