It contains the most relevant clinical material from the best-selling Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry, Tenth Edition and includes updated information on recently introduced psychiatric drugs. The book is DSM-IV-TR compatible and replete with case studies and tables, including DSM-IV-TR tables. Chapters offer step-by-step guidance on the clinical examination, the psychiatric report, medical assessment of the psychiatric patient, laboratory tests, and signs and symptoms. The major portion of the book covers all psychiatric and substance-related disorders, with special chapters on children, adolescents, and the elderly. Also included are chapters on emergency psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, ethics, and palliative and end-of-life care. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Indispensable for Students and Mental Health ProfessionalsThis is among the two or three most definitive works available in this field. It is organized in a reader/researcher-friendly format that enables mental health professionals to quickly access all the relevant information relating to a specific diagnostic category, and its simple and direct format is especially helpful to students. The authors enjoy a reputation deservedly second to none. After computers, I would say this is the next most indispensable item for practitioners and teachers and students ...

I am using it for a graduate nursing class and find it to be heavy going. I recommend reading it with the companion study guide to help distill the most important information from all the material presented.
