Kaplan & Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry, 12th North American Edition (2021) by Dr. Robert Boland, Dr. Marcia L. Verduin, and consulting editor Dr. Pedro Ruiz — Selected as a Doody's Essential Title for 2025 — is the leading clinical psychiatric resource for clinicians, residents, students, and other healthcare professionals both in the US and worldwide. Published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (Wolters Kluwer), this authoritative text has been the trusted synopsis of psychiatry for generations of mental health professionals.
Accurate, reliable, objective, and comprehensive, Kaplan & Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry offers a trusted overview of the entire field of psychiatry while bringing readers up to date with current information on key topics and developments in this complex specialty. Now led by a new editorial team of Drs. Robert Boland and Marcia L. Verduin, the twelfth edition has been completely reorganized to be more useful and easier to navigate in today's busy clinical settings.
New to this edition: A revised table of contents moves the most clinically relevant material to the beginning of the book — including sections on diagnosis, psychopathology and psychiatric conditions, treatment across the lifespan, and therapy and other interventions. Clinical chapters have been reformatted to include clearer section headings and easy-to-digest summaries of important information — all with the goal of helping readers find information quickly and easily locate answers to specific clinical questions.
Topics covered: the clinical psychiatric examination and diagnostic formulation; neuroscience and the brain; psychopathology and mental status examination; neurodevelopmental and intellectual disorders; schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders; mood disorders including major depressive disorder and bipolar disorders; anxiety disorders; obsessive-compulsive and related disorders; trauma- and stressor-related disorders; dissociative disorders; somatic symptom and related disorders; feeding and eating disorders; sleep-wake disorders; sexual dysfunctions and gender dysphoria; disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders; substance use and addictive disorders; neurocognitive disorders; personality disorders; psychopharmacology; psychotherapies including CBT, psychodynamic, and interpersonal therapy; child and adolescent psychiatry; geriatric psychiatry; consultation-liaison psychiatry; forensic psychiatry; and emergency psychiatric care.
Essential for: psychiatry residents; psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNP); clinical psychology doctoral students; medical students on psychiatry clerkships; ABPN board certification and recertification preparation; PRITE examination preparation; licensed clinical social workers; and practicing psychiatrists seeking the most trusted synopsis of the field.
