"This third edition book is a broad introductory textbook, with accompanying eBook resources. It gives an overview of the fundamentals critical for mastery for psychiatric residents. From foundational topics of patient interaction and common diagnoses to the implications of unique populations and treatment settings, the book provides an excellent guide for mastery of the psychiatric clinical fundamentals. This new edition justifies replacing the last one, published in 2015." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Daniel M Tuinstra, MD (Holland Hospital), Doody’s Score: 97 - 5 Stars!
