簡介(Book Description from Google)：
In order to accurately describe and diagnose psychiatric illness, practitioners require in-depth knowledge of the signs and symptoms of behavioral disorders. Descriptive Psychopathology" provides a broad review of the psychopathology of psychiatric illness, beyond the limitations of the DSM and ICD criteria. Beginning with a discussion of the background to psychiatric classification, the authors explore the problems and limitations of current diagnostic systems. The following chapters then present the principles of psychiatric examination and diagnosis, described with accompanying patient vignettes and summary tables, and related to different diagnostic concerns. A thought-provoking conclusion proposes a restructuring of psychiatric classification based on the psychopathology literature and its validating data. Written for psychiatry and neurology residents, as well as clinical psychologists, it is invaluable to anyone who accepts the responsibility for the care of patients with behavioral syndromes.

Masterwork of Contemporary Psychiatry
This is, quite simply, a masterwork. The life's work of Michael Alan Taylor, perhaps the grandmaster of modern empirical, descriptive psychiatry, finds its culmination in this profoundly clear, practical, and illuminating work. It provides a general overview of the approach to psychiatric examination before launching into a depthful overview of each of the individual examination domains. It eschews the esoterica that in parts dominate Sims' "Symptoms in the Mind" as well as the lamentable influence of DSM that has regrettably infiltrated the latest edition of that other masterwork of psychopathology in the English-language, Fish's "Clinical Psychopathology". This book is worth purchasing for the compendious bibliography alone. Professor Taylor appropriately dedicates this work to "the next generation", and one can only hope that the next generation of psychiatric trainees heed his call.
