Little Black Book of Psychiatry

This book has made it easier for me as a clinicial instructor to find the 'right' words to explain to undergraduate psychiatric-mental health nursing students just what mental illness is. The book is explains simply the signs and symptoms, maladaptive behaviors, relapse triggers and possible treatments for each mental illness that a patient might have.. It is user friendly in its organization. I will keep this as one of my best reference books.

excellent and concise

This book has saved me a few times in the ED and while presenting patients to the attendings. The materials are up-to-date, concise, and easily searched. I am frequently surprised at how much materials are actually contained in this little book. The best part about this books is the reference after each topics heading which point the reader to the specific research paper the authors pulled their information from. I highly recommend this book for any medical students and for neuro./psych. residents
