Most psychiatrists are not clinical researchers, but all are affected by the current emphasis on scientific research in psychiatry and are consumers of the resultant data. This textbook presents the nuances and subtleties (and pitfalls) of research psychiatry as a career; research design strategies; assessment issues; areas such as diagnosis, epidemiology, psychopharmacology, alcoholism, behavioral medicine; and issues of children and adolescents, older adults, and the chronically mentally ill.
