In an easy-to-scan outline format, the book summarizes the etiology, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of all psychiatric disorders. Coverage has been thoroughly updated with DSM-IV-TR diagnoses and new information on pharmacotherapy. This edition is replete with DSM-IV-TR and other tables and includes boxed, highlighted Clinical Hints. Each chapter ends with specific page and chapter references to Kaplan and Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, Eighth Edition. Color photographs of psychiatric drugs are also included.

 Rating: - Good little handbookI am starting a psychiatry residency after switching from Pediatrics. This is a good little handbook that just gives you a good overview of psychiatry. It's chapters are congruent with the 17 clinical disorders (d/o)(ie: substance abuse, mood d/o, schizophrenia etc.) within the DSM-IV.

Read More Rating:  - Compact and informativeThe sectional layout of this edition follows that of the huge comprehensive textbook of psychiatry. However, information is relevant and pertinent to medical students and practicing residents. Although, a bit light on psychotherapeutic treatments it is good on topics of definitions, epidemilogy and psychotropics. Good tables and figures throughout. Good in terms of what it is marketed as... a handbook. Go to the Synopsis or Comprehensive textbooks for fuller understanding.
