Four Stars Easy read and very straight forward. Diverse Diva said Review / Core text book for Psychiatry. This is great core text for your Psychiatry Clerkship. It also covers a lot of information that is useful for your Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics and Geriatrics clerkships.This book is easy to read and provides good explanations so that you are not forced to memorize random facts or mnemonics that do not make sense(as some of my classmates have commented about other Psychiatry review books), and every chapter ends with 5 - 15 practice questions. This book is published by LWW, so . Great for review - from a nurse practitioner viewpoint Not an NP review book, but very relevant. Laid out as a study guide. Concise but detailed. Includes child psychiatry section.Questions and answers at end of each section. It's written for psychiatry interns; you will need to use another review source to study nursing theory. For $3.50 used, this is a bargain. I give this 5/5.
Its outline format will certainly appeal to some students, and the USMLE-style questions and answers should help them prepare for their licensing exams. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 stars! .
