The book is not as densely layered with information as one might expect. It approximates the Kaplan and Saddock style. There are only a few illustrations and tables, and chapters that require graphs etc are even printed on a different kind of paper.

The depth of information contained could and should be more extensive; the book is definitely not a reference book in my library. It does not approach the exhaustiveness and comprehensiveness of the Hirsch/Weinberger Schizophrenia textbook when it comes to reviewing scientific data (even though it is almost 10 years newer) nor does it render itself all too useful when looking for up-to-date treatment information.
