Books in the Primer On Series series

This book provides an introduction to depression, including common comorbid conditions and differential diagnoses, treatment strategies, and considerations in special populations.

Unlike the comprehensive tomes available on public sector psychiatry, this book offers the psychiatry trainee and early-career psychiatrist a concise guide to the many roles he or she might be asked to provide in a public-sector mental health setting. It offers residents and early-career psychiatrists real-world case studies, example vignettes, literature and art that engage them in, and put them at-ease about, service in public psychiatry.

This book addresses the neurobiology, pharmacotherapy, and behavioural therapy of substance use disorders from a clinical perspective. Ideal for residents and fellows, this book will provide a solid background for learning in psychiatry and addiction medicine and can also be used in clinical practice.
