Brochure More information from /reports/2174154/ Textbook of Psychiatric Epidemiology. 3rd Edition Description: The new edition of this critically praised textbook continues to provide the most comprehensive overview of the concepts, methods, and research advances in the field; particularly the application of molecular genomics and of neuroimaging. It has been revised and enhanced to capitalize on the strengths of the first and second editions while keeping it up–to–date with the field of psychiatry and epidemiology. This comprehensive publication now includes chapters on experimental epidemiology, gene–environment interactions, the use of case registries, eating disorders, suicide, childhood disorders and immigrant populations, and the epidemiology of a number of childhood disorders. As in the first and second editions, our objective is to provide a comprehensive, easy to understand overview of research methods for the non–specialist. Our target audience is students of psychiatric epidemiology, psychiatric residents, general psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals. The book features a new editor, Peter Jones, from the University of Cambridge, who joins the successful US team of Ming Tsuang and Mauricio Tohen. Contributors are drawn mainly from the US as before, with new recruits from Europe and Asia added to widen the appeal of the textbook.
