Reviews

[Dr. Amanda]

Good and quick overview of psych at a good price

[Lio Lio]

Simple and serves its purpose, don't expect beyond what already been stated.

[Sydney Nelson]

This book was a waste of time to read - the definitions were so surface-level and vague that you could just memorize the DSM-5 criteria rather than read the book. Worst blueprints book I've read to date

[Mohammed Fath'y]

Very good resource for beginners, new residents

[Megan]

This book was ok, but lacked details for me especially concerning treatments. If you have the time to read it it's ok, but I wouldn't waste time on it.

[Enas Ahmed]

It made psychiatry really simple , yet it didn't include the whole DSM 4 criteria of diagnosis

[Oscar Gallardo Huizar]

Excellent review! Easy to follow and easy to understand. Definitely recommended for those students taking the boards.
