The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry
Fifth Edition
Edited by Robert E. Hales, M.D., M.B.A., Stuart C. Yudofsky, M.D., and Glen O. Gabbard, M.D.
Its previous edition hailed as "the best reference for the majority of practicing psychiatrists" (Doody’s Book Reviews) and a book that "more than any other, provides an approach to how to think about psychiatry that integrates both the biological and psychological" (JAMA), the Fifth Edition of The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry has been meticulously revised to maintain this preeminence as an accessible and authoritative educational reference and clinical compendium. It combines the strengths of its three editors—Robert Hales in clinical and community psychiatry, Stuart Yudofsky in neuropsychiatry, and new co-editor Glen Gabbard in psychotherapy—in recruiting outstanding authors to summarize the latest developments in psychiatry. Each chapter concludes with 5–10 key points, 5–10 recommended readings, and helpful websites not only for the clinician but also for patients and family members. Also included is complimentary access to a downloadable slide show that contains a wealth of material to enhance classroom presentation, study, and clinical use. An interactive self-assessment study guide offers the chance to test knowledge of Textbook content.

Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Edited by Mina K. Dulcan, M.D.
Dulcan’s Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry supplants the previous textbook edited by Jerry Wiener and Mina Dulcan—not with a new edition, but rather a new book that offers a fresh look at the field of child mental health. It preserves Wiener’s vision of a clinically focused textbook useful to trainees and practitioners in a variety of specialties, providing the most up-to-date and comprehensive text in child and adolescent psychiatry as presented by more than 110 contributors who distill their knowledge and expertise into a single authoritative volume. Both the organization of the original text and the structure of the chapters have been overhauled to better communicate the clinical art and wisdom of child psychiatry while remaining grounded firmly in clinical science. Each chapter highlights what we know about evidence-based practices in assessment and treatment, while sections on future research point toward current pressing questions. At the end of each chapter are educational summary points. Of the 65 chapters, 56 feature new lead authors, chosen to represent the expertise of disciplines ranging from pediatrics and neurology to sleep medicine and family therapy.
