Preface The preparation of the third edition of this book has involved a number of major changes. First, we have taken on a new coauthor, Roger Ho. Roger has relatively recent experience of preparing for and sitting the examinations of the membership ofthe Royal College of Psychiatrists and is actively involved in teaching candidates based in Singapore. Second, we have added new chapters and, within existing chapters, we have included new material (including NICE guidelines), updated the DSM-IV-TR criteria to those of the forthcoming DSM-5, and cited more recent references. Finally, we have included many more diagrams. As with previous editions, we believe that these revision notes should also prove useful not only for the membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists but also for similar postgraduate examinations in psychiatry in other parts of the English-speaking world.
