'Introduction to Psychiatry: Preclinical Foundations and Clinical
Essentials by Walker, Schlozman and Alpert, is a remarkable
achievement and will be of extraordinary value to new learners in
our field. It embraces the necessary complexity of psychiatry but
consistently provides a clear scaffolding so that the reader never
loses 'the forest for the trees'. The synthesis of an enormous
evidence base is conveyed with clarity and rigor. Just as
important, the text is written with respect and compassion for
patients, and with an appreciation of the growth mindset we
encourage in students and residents. I cannot imagine a better
place to begin one's explorations of psychiatry than this book.'
Adam M. Brenner, M.D. Editor-in-Chief, Academic Psychiatry,
Professor of Psychiatry and Distinguished Teaching Professor, Vice
Chair for Education and Residency Training Director in Psychiatry,
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
'This book meets the needs of the intended audience by
comprehensively discussing a wide variety of psychiatric topics.
The chapters are detailed, yet easy to read and comprised of only
relevant information.' Chad R. Percifield, Doody's Notes
'This essential textbook should be in every clinic to introduce
students, trainees, and health professionals to the fundamentals of
mental health clinical assessment, evidence-based treatment, major
diagnostic categories, gender issues, sleep disorders, psychosocial
interventions, and global perspectives … Highly recommended.' S.
