Provides quick access to the latest guidelines on the most appropriate preventive services, screening methods, and treatment approaches for conditions commonly encountered in the outpatient setting.

DeGowin's Diagnostic Examination is a text to assist clinicians to think about symptoms and physical signs to facilitate generation of reasonable, testable diagnostic hypotheses. This work describes the techniques for obtaining a complete history and performing a thorough physical examination. It links symptoms and signs with the pathophysiology of disease and presents an approach to differential diagnosis, based upon the pathophysiology of disease, which can be efficiently tested in the laboratory.

The RANZCP has developed Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) to provide mental health practitioners, consumers, and carers with evidence-based information about particular mental illnesses and appropriate treatment options. These have been developed with the support of both the Australian and New Zealand Governments.

The CPGs address six specific disorders or conditions that have considerable impact on psychiatric practice in Australia and New Zealand, as expressed from both the psychiatric profession and consumers. These are:

• anorexia nervosa;
• bipolar disorder;
• deliberate self harm (youth and adult);
• depression;
• panic disorder and agoraphobia; and
• schizophrenia.

For each disorder or condition, two Guidelines have been developed - one for consumers and carers, and one for mental health clinicians (summary and full versions). Links to the Guidelines are provided below.

The CPGs:

• systematically evaluate research evidence;
• were developed by representatives from a range of professional groups, as well as consumers;
• are specifically designed to assist, rather than dictate, clinical decision-making; and
• are to be applied on a case-by-case basis.

The Guidelines are current at the time of publication, but because they are evidence-based, they will inevitably become out of date as new research emerges regarding established and novel treatments. Therefore a crucial aspect of implementing the Guidelines will be ensuring that they are reviewed on a regular basis.
