Infos

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, the objective is to provide
a comprehensive, easy to understand overview of research methods
for the non-specialist. The book is ideal for 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.

Rezensionen

"The Textbook of Psychiatric Epidemiology is a timely,
up-to-date, and comprehensive book covering all aspects of the
science of epidemiology as related to psychiatric disorders.
Overall, this is a well written, wel-organized book that I highly
recommend to all psychiatrists and neuroscientists who are
interested in the underpinning of psychiatric epidemiology."
(Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2013)

"Overall, this book provides a thorough and understandable
introduction to the field of psychiatric epidemiology, suitable for
students wishing to become familiar with up-to-date applications
and findings in psychiatry as they relate to public health and
epidemiology." (Doody's, 6 April 2012)

"This 3rd edition is a welcome return for this informative
textbook, which will be of interest to a wide readership through
its extensive scope. It covers a range of areas relevant to
epidemiology and beyond with what is now the standard format
involving expert authors or teams." (Acta Psychiatrica
Scandinavica, 2012)

"So I started this review process with a great deal of
skepticism. However, during this process I have ended up reading
about areas outside my own main research field with much interest,
and chapters within my own areas with much pleasure and admiration
for the contributions; and, I have found myself recommending
individual chapters again and again to students and other people
with whom I, during this period, have discussed specific projects.
So, much to my own surprise, I end up warmly recommending this book
to anyone who has a professional interest in the epidemiology of,
and risk factors for psychiatric disorders, and a recurring need
for a fast reference to a very comprehensive array of knowledge."
