Summary: A standard text
Comment: 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!

Summary: Comprehensive and well written
Comment: A popular standard textbook for clerkship and internship, it offers a fairly comprehensive view of the field of psychiatry as a whole. Very well written, easy to read, and with plenty of illustrations. Besides clinical knowledge, the book also provides enough history (very interesting, photoes of big names in the field), psychodynamics (lot of programs now do not offer formal training, but it is nice to know the basics as a physician), and basic neuroscience (useful in ward discussion, though not in research-depth). The basic science part is somewhat not very updated to readers who involve in basic research. In general this is a solid investigation for those who has serious interest in psychiatry. But if you are going to be a psychiatrist, this is less than enough to be a reference resorce and too big for a quick reference. It may, however, serve as an appetite before you start the Comprehensive Text Book of Psychiatry from the same authers, so that the latter won't be overwhelming.

Summary: An excellent work but there is another one better
Comment: I find this a concise and useful summary of the current state of development of Psychiarty.

However personally I prefer the Shorter Oxford Textbook of Psychiarty a little bit more.
