Reviews

an enjoyable read with sufficient detail to entertain the interested psychiatrist or general practitioner or to be used as a training or as a reference work ... This is a very welcome additional resource to primary mental health care. Primary Care Psychiatry, Vol 9, Number 1 Buzzing with new ideas... grounded in evidence and well presented...

It is highly readable, well structured and manages to combine the experience of mental health problems in family practice with pragmatic management advice for busy primary care practitioners.
