Great to carry on the floor

This is a perfect little book to carry on the unit with you or while answering consults. It is full of useful information and I use it regularly as a reference for unsual presentations. My only wish is that it included more assessment strategies while working with difficult patients.

fabulous

Trimble is an amazing fellow: amongst other things, he seems to be a master of conciseness because his Biological Psychiatry, now very out of date, was also a marvel of compression. This work is not on that level (and was not intended to be) but I think it is a wonderful companion to the Pocket Reference for Psychiatrists. Though I normally hate pocket books that pretend to be miniature texts, somehow this one succeeds and with those two pocket books in the lab coat, I think a psychiatry resident has everything he needs to be an excellent physician, and not much less than he needs to know to pass the boards.

An excellent pocket reference for externs, interns, and residents. Provides detailed information on a variety of topics designed to help formulate correct diagnoses. A must for all starting out in the behavioral health field.
