At first we will present the definitions of traditional psychiatric symptomatology, with reference to the descriptive psychiatry. Then we analyze the relationship of psychiatry and the neurosciences. Then we will examine the major psychiatric and personality disorders as classified in DSM 5. Later we will discuss the foundations of psychodynamic psychiatry. We'll talk, later, of psychodynamic psychiatry foundations. In the next part we will consider psychiatric therapy (pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, psychosocial rehabilitation). Finally, we will discuss the problem of psychiatric emergencies and clinical legal issues in psychiatry.
