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.
