good book for learning psychiatry

this was required reading for our psychiatry course. I felt it was a decent textbook for the subject. I just don't like the subject.

excellent basic pysch texbook

A great reference textbook for a medical student or resident. Very readable, with great examples.

Clear and concise

This book takes a difficult subject and clarifies about as well as I can imagine. It is very nicely done, and a good reference or introductory text. It could use a bit more color, some illustrations, and some tables, but overall it is a very satisfactory book for its purpose.

Readable Text

This book is perfect for those looking for an introduction to psychiatry. The text is pleasantly readable and very informative. I would highly recommend this for anyone in the field of psychology or those who are just interested in reading up on it.

Good book

I use this for my medical school psychiatry class and I think it does a very good job of detailing the conditions we are studying in an easy and condensed form.
