For the four percent of medical students who will go into the specialty but also for the rest, Harrison (psychiatry), John Geddes (epidemiological psychiatry, both Oxford U.), and Michael Sharpe (psychological medicine, U. of Edinburgh) set out the basics of psychiatry. Among their topics are the core psychiatric assessment, aetiology, schizophrenia, substance disorders, and psychiatry in other settings. The work has been revised every few years since 1964.
