Details: Psychiatry in South Asia is a comprehensive textbook of psychiatry with special emphasis on psychiatric practice in the region of South Asia. It has forty chapters covering most relevant and important areas of psychiatry, written by experts from the same region, and edited by four well recognized psychiatrists from UK, Australia and India. A wide range of clinical, research and policy related topics have been covered in this edition. The chapters describe current diagnostic systems, clinical practice and recent developments in the field of psychiatry. This second edition of the book Psychiatry in South Asia has been completely updated and additional new chapters have also been added. The chief reason for the development and existence of this book is that it belongs to South Asia - the authors come from there and the concepts, although influenced by western traditions and training, belong fairly and squarely to the subcontinent. This second edition highlights the history and practice of clinical Psychiatry in South Asia. The first edition of this book was published in 2004; it was very popular among the postgraduates and practitioners of psychiatry. The recent changes in diagnostic systems, developments in the understanding psychiatric conditions and modern interventions have necessitated the second edition of Psychiatry in South Asia.
