Most popular TrOn module 2022/2023
Authors - Dr Yasir Hameed and Dr Andrew Tarbuck
Module title - A brief introduction to the history of psychiatry
It is often said that it is almost impossible to understand current psychiatric practice without a knowledge of its historical origins and how the practice has changed over time. Although the history of psychiatry is not specifically included in the MRCPsych syllabus, many topics in the syllabus require an understanding of the historical context. This TrOn module supports knowledge of historical facts and the origin of treatments in psychiatry that will help learners to prepare better for the MRCPsych exams.
