Psychiatry and Public Affairs by Chaiwat Satha-Anand PDF Summary

Book Description: This stimulating collection bears witness to the insight that psychiatrists, with their special training and background and concern for human relationships, can contribute solutions to major problems of public affairs and public policy.
