Psychiatry for Samovars and Teapots

Maxim Malyavin has been in psychiatry for about two decades. He is well-known in Runet and, together with his wife Oksana, who is also a psychiatrist, runs the blog "The Blog of Kind Psychiatrists" in LiveJournal: http://dpmmax.livejournal.com. If we believe... a fairly common saying, then in psychiatry, whoever first puts on a gown and takes a seat on the right side of the desk is a doctor. According to rumors, it's also desirable to have some understanding of the subject matter: who to rightfully, and not maliciously, label as an idiot, and who as a paranoid. The gown is easier—one can stock up in advance at a workwear store. As for the subject matter—I will give you... no, not a Parabellum. And I won't give you a machine gun either, sorry guys. But the volume of information that any budding psychiatrist should have—sure. Moreover, I will present it in a way that is understandable even to someone who has only had a relation to medicine at best as a patient. As for the completeness of the information—know this: after reading this book, many students have successfully passed their psychiatry exams. All that remains is to learn how to quickly put on the gown.
