Reviews
5 Star Reviews:
"A great book for visual learners; with lots of diagrams and pictures and tables to explain key concepts in psychiatry. The text is clear and straight-forward throughout, with a focus on the important things that you need to know. I love the comic-strip-style case examples which bring the pages to life and get you thinking about the topic in the context of patients." Amazon reviewer
"This a great book - the chapters are clear and I love how each one begins with a patient; makes it much easier to learn the context when you can apply it to a case. There are great tables summarising learning points too - the one on personality disorders is especially useful." Amazon reviewer
"As a medical student, this book has been perfect for my mental health block. The section on Mental State Examination (MSE) is really helpful for OSCEs and the clinical scenarios are fantastic." Amazon reviewer
