Synopsis

The fourth edition of Fish's Outline of Psychiatry reflects the recent change in general psychiatry, it has become much less Meyerian and much more neo Kraepelinian.
The seven years up to 1984 had seen a renewed interest in clinical phenomena and in the classification of mental disorders and as a result much of this volume had been rewritten. Increased emphasis has been given to anorexia nervosa and new material appears on drug dependence; new ideas on anxiety states and affective disorders are included. The out of date section on Pavlov has been changed to give an account of Behaviour Therapy and the recent Mental Health Act is discussed. References and further reading suggestions have been thoroughly updated. The new edition of Fish's Outline of Psychiatry remains a sound introductory text for the under- graduate student and general practitioner. The book outlines the fundamentals of psychiatry and provides postgraduate students with a framework around which to organise their studies.
