“

GREAT summary and all encompassing view of rotations/residency for psych This has everything you need to know in a conscise, to the point format. It has epi, clinical sx, DSMIV criteria, tx, and has a section dedicated to MOA, Side effects of drugs! A great book for the psych rotation For psychiatry, the Blueprints book at the time was just average. So I ended up reading this book as well as the NMS series psychiatry book. This little book is packed with information on diseases, diagnosis, and drugs. It also has sections on writing orders, progress notes, etc.. for psych patients. Plus, it is small and can fit in just about any lab coat. I highly recommend this book for the psych rotation. I found the NMS book to be very slow reading and it was difficult to make it all the way through it--partly because of the subject matter, but also partly because of the book itself. Blueprints pscyh + this little book may be all that you need for that rotation in medical school
