Fifteen supplied psychiatry texts form the reference collection. Each article identifies the specific passages it uses.
These are original explanations, rather than reproduced textbook chapters. A book listed here is not automatically a source for every article. Open a title to see where it is used.
Dates and editions refer to the supplied copies. For the reflowed Oxford Handbook PDF, references identify the visible document pagination rather than assuming the original print layout.
