This review is from: Psychiatry: Board Review Series (Paperback)

The BRS Series is great for its comprehensive outline-type review. BRS psych is good, but is in desparate need of updating. At this point, I wouldn't recommend ANYone buy it because some of the information is actually now incorrect. The pharmacology section is hopelessly out-of-date.
