Lengthy but helpful for deeper understanding and grasp of the psychatrics knowledge

Closer to one star than three, though this may be partly due to my opinion of psychiatry in general. As the book is made up of 100 different case stories, there's of course a lot of variance in terms of quality; some parts of the coverage were quite decent, others were ... not.
