Good work reference for students

[Analie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was required reading for a class. The information is good, but can be found through other resources. I think it's best suited for beginners looking to build their clinical vocabulary.

This book offers so much information that you will find yourself using ver and over again. With sections on what questions to ask, different formats for writing reports and progress notes, abbreviations, DSM reference, you will find this book invaluable. Although we all know that when it comes to report writing, every hospital / treatment facility / ect. has it's own style of report - this book will lend you a hand with the basics of all of them. I bought it as a graduate student and I would say that it's great for students who are new to diagnosis and report writing!
