5.0 out of 5 stars Introductory textbook of psychiatry

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad book very dry and a little outdated at times

From what I have seen, there are many other psych books that are better written and more current.

This review is from: Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I have practiced primary care medicine for nearly 30 years and this is, by far, the best textbook of pyschiatry that I have come across. It is clearly organized and gives the practitioner the basics of what he needs to organize mental health care in his mind. It is clearly written and easy to understand. I have read over many years, other textbooks of psychiaty and synopses of the same, and this is a great book for medical students and practitioners alike. More depth will be needed for those in the field but for clearly organizing the subject in one's mind, this is a great text.
