Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry: Behavioral Sciences/clinical Psychiatry

If you practice in the behavioral sciences, this book should be on your shelf. Features updated information on the diagnosis and treatment of all the DSM diagnoses as well as interesting historical information. Takes what's in the DSM and expands on it at some length, including psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions. Written with a surprisingly even hand towards all interventions, I have found it more useful than the DSM most of the time, especially in guiding treatment decisions. My only complaint is their decision to drop material on some of the older medications. Still, a terrific resource for the working pracitioner!

God do they smash a lot of material in to one book. I carried this around the hospital and referenced it constantly. What a great synopsis.

College level info in this huge book of psychology. Still cutting though it and benefitting from all the info it contains. Really looking forward to the rest of the book

Shipped fast. Great price

Great psych reference
