Primary Care Psychiatry: A practical guide for southern Africa

Psychiatric disorders are among the most important causes of distress and disability throughout the world. In developing countries health care workers at the primary care level are increasingly required to deal with a wide range of psychological problems and psychiatric disorders with limited resources. Primary Care Psychiatry 2e aims to equip these workers with the basic information they need to identify and manage most of these problems, and offers guidelines on when and how to refer to more specialised levels of care. Now in its second edition, this well-respected text has been updated to include the latest diagnostic criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5™).
