Hedaya, Robert J. Understanding Biological Psychiatry (0393701913)
He explains how biological psychiatrists consider the biology of the individual as an integral part of the whole picture and demonstrates a new way of conceptualizing clinical problems. The book has a practical bent, discussing, for example, when and how to refer to a psychiatrist, even describing how to explain this new perspective to a patient. The author's conversational style, as well as many figures, tables, and case illustrations, makes
Understanding Biological Psychiatry a guide that is sure to be well-read and often referred to by therapists and physicians.
