Review(s) from previous edition
"...this book is a solid contender in a sea of similar handbooks, and readers will find that its periodic British nomenclature does not compromise its applicability to American Psychiatry...
...the Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry offers a more impressive breadth of evidence-based material and will undoubtedly be a resource found in the pockets of many practitioners. - Portable Psychiatry: Praise and Aspirations for the Oxford Handbook, American Psychological Association, by Michelle Braun
"Enjoyable, concise, relevant, accesible information, clear, logical, essential reading for anyone in mental health, highly recommended!" - Reader review, Philip Cowin
