2008-09-20 oxford handbook of psychiatry

As always Oxford have outdone themselves. A must for anyone working in this branch "medicine" be they Doctors, Nurses or HCAs. Reading this book really brings home the fact that often mental health treatment is just a blind stab at making sense of the most complex of problems. The book may also be the best piece of artillery against the medical model yet. Pay attention to the introduction to personality disorder as this it is quite alarming given the sociopolitical tension at the moment.
