Psychiatry Update and Board Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Update and Board Preparation (Paperback)
The best psychiatry review book I have read. Very comprehensive. Reviews all the latest therapeutic techniques, including a good review on psychopharmacology. Also covers Neurology, which is especially important to review when preparing for the boards. I liked the questions which helped me to test what I have learned. I feel well prepared for the boards after reading this book. It has saved me thousands of dollars I might have otherwise spend on a board review course.

Not too impressed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Update and Board Preparation (Paperback)
I got this book because of the good review here, but i must say that i was not impressed by this book at all. The details are too sketchy even for a review book. Some of the stastistics are diffrent from standards such as the ECA and NCS studies.It has great potential as book to use as framework and using another book like kaplock/saddock to confirm facts or expand info.
