Tasman’s Psychiatry, 5th Edition, builds on the initial vision in prior editions of approaching psychiatric evaluation and care from an integrative bio-psycho-social-cultural perspective. It is designed to be an essential and accessible reference for readers at any level of experience. This editorial approach encompasses the importance of the first encounter between patient and clinician, followed by the complex task of beginning to develop a therapeutic relationship and to develop and implement a treatment plan in collaboration with the patient. The importance of increasing attention to the role of culture and social determinants of mental health is reflected both in specific chapters and in components of many chapters  throughout the book, especially in those pertaining to clinical evaluation, the therapeutic alliance, and treatment. The global scope of this edition is reflected throughout the book, including the section on psychiatric disorders where evaluation using both ICD 11 and DSM 5-TR is discussed. Most chapters are authored by experts from at least two different countries or continents, adding a critically important dimension which often is missing in major psychiatric textbooks. 
Tasman’s Psychiatry, 5th Edition, is an essential reference for all medical professionals and students who need a trusted reference or learning tool for psychiatry, psychology, clinical research, social work, counseling, therapy, and all others.

His funded research over four decades has focused on the neurophysiology of cognitive processes. His laboratory at the University of Connecticut was one of the first to describe functional neural abnormalities in offspring of alcohol addict fathers. More recent research in Louisville focused on investigation of innovative neuromodulation treatments for autism and substance abuse. He has authored or edited 38 books, over 260 peer reviewed articles, chapters, and abstracts, nearly 80 editorials in psychiatric publications, and over 400 national and international presentations. He is founding Editor in Chief of all editions of this textbook, now named Tasman’s Psychiatry, with earlier editions called “the best current textbook of psychiatry” by the New England Journal of Medicine and the “gold standard” by the American Journal of Psychiatry.
