Ming T. Tsuang & Mauricio Tohen 
Textbook of Psychiatric Epidemiology 

The new edition of this critically praised textbook continues to
provide the most comprehensive overview of the concepts, methods,
and research advances in the field; particularly the application of
molecular genomics and of neuroimaging. It has been revised and
enhanced to capitalize on the strengths of the first and second
editions while keeping it up-to-date with the field of psychiatry
and epidemiology. This comprehensive publication now includes
chapters on experimental epidemiology, gene-environment
interactions, the use of case registries, eating disorders,
suicide, childhood disorders and immigrant populations, and the
epidemiology of a number of childhood disorders.

As in the first and second editions, the objective is to provide
a comprehensive, easy to understand overview of research methods
for the non-specialist. The book is ideal for students of
psychiatric epidemiology, psychiatric residents, general
psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals.

The book features a new editor, Peter Jones, from the University
of Cambridge, who joins the successful US team of Ming Tsuang and
Mauricio Tohen.
