Customer Reviews

Great book.

This is a great review book for the most commonly found conditions in psychiatry as well as covering geriatric AND pediatric issues. It has the DSM-IV criteria for these conditions, a great section on differentials (which comes in SUPER handy at test time). Took off 1 star as a few items (mainly treatment related) are outdated or not present as it is from 1997.
