Book Description: Psychiatric epidemiology is the study of the incidence, prevalence, outcome, and response to intervention of psychiatric disorders in terms of environmental, biological, and demographic factors. A primary goal of the discipline is to discover the cause and pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. The Second Edition of Textbook in Psychiatric Epidemiology will continue to be the only comprehensive overview of the concepts, methods, and research advances in the field.
Completely revised based on the enormous advances since publication of the first edition, the Textbook now includes new chapters on child psychiatry, community studies, and perinatal studies. Requiring no formal clinical training or extensive knowledge of quantitative research methods, it is still the only rigorous introduction to psychiatric epidemiology available.
