Song Ji-young: Introduction to Psychopathology

It is a well-known fact that psychopathology is crucial knowledge forming the foundation of psychiatry. This book will assist psychiatry majors in gaining new insights and establishing concepts regarding diagnostic methods. The author wrote this book with the goal of establishing a Korean-language psychopathology as the basis for Korean psychopathology. Regarding the identification of manifested mental symptoms and the subsequent diagnostic classification, understanding the historical background and trends in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom will add depth to the understanding of symptoms. This third edition is slightly larger in volume compared to the revised edition. Content on dementia, sleep disorders, and eating disorders has been added, along with content from the recently revised ICD-11 and DSM-5. Another difference from the revised edition is the significant expansion of the index. It has become easier to look up information, and it is expected to serve as a dictionary as well. The content is broadly divided into three parts. Part 1 covers the basic concepts of psychopathology, Part 2 covers psychosyndromes, and Part 3 outlines the diagnostic classification of psychotic symptoms and future tasks for psychopathology. The saying, "You see as much as you know," is true. Through this book, I hope that when treating patients, one will take a single symptom seriously and actively consider the various related disorders.
