This is one of the newest handbooks out there!!!( i personally own a number of them)..I must state that its one of the best I have seen so far...pretty comprehensive for its size..some highlights are the focus on approach to different clinical situations which are very well written and immensely useful in clinical practice(such as being Oncall!!)..I would highly recommend this book to fellow residents!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Handbook!, September 12, 2009

This review is from: The Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Hospital Residency Handbook of Psychiatry (Paperback)

This book was smaller and thinner than I thought it would be for the price I was paying, but after I looked inside, I realized that it was packed with the essentials and no junk! It is a very useful tool that I wish I had in my 1st and 2nd years of residency in Psychiatry, especially when I was on the inpatient and consultation/liason services. It is still useful for the latter years of residency though.
