Reviews

This book covers all major aspects of psychiatry in its 26 chapters. It endeavors to cover a number of topics that are not always addressed in general psychiatry books, including behavioral complications of neurological and medical illness as well as complexities that are unique to subspecialty populations [...] Overall, this is a strong addition to the field and it provides a good overview of complex material in a format that is manageable for student learners.
