Review of Psychiatry
Dr Burton’s book exemplifies good teaching through simplification of the subject into its key components. By helping the reader to gain confidence rapidly, space is made to encourage a broader appreciation of psychiatry with memorable examples of mental illness drawn from history, art, music, literature, and drama... By stimulating the formation of diverse intellectual links between society and psychiatry, a profound skill is taught, that of becoming a thinking doctor, who is aware that medicine is life itself and not merely a subject to be practised in abstraction. This original, refreshing perspective offered by Burton encourages the student to realise that all consultations are, indeed, psychiatric.
