Features: This book introduces psychiatry in full English. Historically, the development of Psychiatry and Mental Health Services in Asia has followed its colonial past. While textbooks for Britain and United States have contributed much to the knowledge base of medical undergraduates in the Region, it is time for an undergraduate text in English language to be prepared by Asian psychiatrists for Asian undergraduates with a special Asian approach and emphasis. The willing and enthusiastic collaboration of many Asian psychiatrists enabled the publication of this textbook, which will fill a gap in the education of future generations of doctors as well as other healthcare professionals in the Region. This book introduces psychiatry in full English.
