Résumé : Now in the fourth edition, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Clinical Psychaitry has become a classic in the filed. To the editors' credit, they have continued to define psychiatry broadly. As the selection of chapters and chapter authors reflects, psychiatrists engage in a plethora of diverse activities; Prescribing medication; administering electroconvulsive therapy; conducting individual, group, and conjoint therapies; testifying in court; contributing to the understanding of public health issues such as violence and suicide; expanding our knowledge of how culture contributes to psychopathology; and examining the interface of genetics and environment in shaping what makes us human. The biopsychosocial model made famous by engel is applicable to all of medicaine. However, the model reaches its ultimate fulfillment in contemporary psychiatry.
It is to the benefit of our filed that editors Hales and Yudofsky have not succumbed to the siren song of reductionim. In their auspicious choice to be integrative and inclusive, they provide a road map for psychiatry in the twenty-first century that both trainees and experienced clinicians would be well advised to follow.
