New authors infuse fresh perspectives into various topics, ensuring readers remain abreast of the latest advancements in the field. The Tenth Edition features comprehensive updates in neural sciences, now encompassing areas such as epigenetics, the microbiome, systems neuroscience, the Human Connectome Project, neurodevelopment, and more. Additionally, sections on schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, geriatric psychiatry, and neurocognitive disorders have been extensively revised. Noteworthy is the uniquely thorough coverage of psychosomatic medicine, addressing issues like obesity, chronic pain, and psychiatric consequences of critical illness. Pertinent discussions on public and global psychiatry, biological therapies, and psychotherapies offer timely insights.
