This book is designed for medical students in a psych rotation. As a psych NP student, I probably wouldn't have bought it. However, a med student working with my preceptor had a copy of the 3rd edition and I got to look through it. I was excited to get the 4th edition which is updated for the DSM-5. This book is basically an outline of all major psych diagnoses with differential diagnoses and treatment options. There is a great section on medications and other treatments. I have many textbooks and reference books with this information scattered through the text but none of them are as succinct as this one. This is the book I would reach for to find a quick and easy answer, then turn to my reference books for more detailed info.I've been using it for a few days and it's great to study with. One thing to point out - the paper quality on the 3rd edition was terrible. The paper was very cheap and thin, far too thin to use a regular highlighter. For the 4th edition, the paper quality is much better. There is a little bleed through with regular highlighters but nothing more than in a typical textbook.Overall, a great addition to my library and one that I'll turn to frequently.
This book plus Uworld Qbank were the only resources I used for reviewing the Psychiatry shelf exam and I am very happy with my score. It is easy to read and not extremely long. It does seem a bit redundant at times which would be my only criticism. But it fills its purpose. I bought it specifically because it was updated for DSM V. I am not sure how it compares to previous editions, but I felt comfortable knowing it had the most up to date information.
This is an excellent review of all the material you need for the NBME psych shelf exam. It is also great for step 2 as well. I would say that the book is on the lengthy side, but it can be helpful if you are reading throughout your rotation. What it doesn't include are several of the genetic issues like Prader-Willi syndrome and the peripartum effects of some drugs like alcohol or phenytoin. I would make sure to review those on the exam. This also lacks extensive detail on drug toxicities and withdrawal effects. I would look into other resources for that as well. Overall, I highly recommend this book to review for the shelf. It seems that every med student was using this as their source.
I got this book to study during my 3rd year psych rotation. The chapters are short enough that I can read one during my down time yet comprehensive enough that it is definitely worth the time. Highly recommend, especially the psychopharmacology chapter!
This book is significantly updated from the fourth edition and between this and using Lange for questions I got 99th percentile. Highly recommend, it is worth the purchase.
Really helped me out during my rotation. Recommended by all my previous classmates and the ones before them as well. Must have for the psych rotation.
One of the best resources for the Psychiatry shelf.
