This review is from: Underground Clinical Vignettes: Psychiatry, Classic Clinical Cases for USMLE Step 2 and Clerkship Review (Paperback)

This is the Psychiatry section of the Underground Clinical Vignettes series. If you have trouble getting a general image of psychiatric disorders, or cannot associate important facts with clinical scenarios (keywords etc), this is the book you need. Because, as matter of fact, that is exactly what you need to do during the test. On the other hand, do not think you can get away by just working on this book. This book covers 54 major cases that you frequently see on the exam, but of course this is not enough. This can be a great "supplement", but not enough to use it as a "major source". I especially suggest this book as a good reinforcement if you are using "Blueprint Psychiatry".
