This is an excellent and short read for the psychiatry rotation that can also be used for reference as it summarizes all the required diagnostic findings for the diseases described.

This is a great concise review of psychiatric disorders, their diagnosis according to the DSM IV and management options. This series has served me well in my core rotations in psychiatry. Especially, if you do not have much downtime and you need something quick to review, this is a great resource.

I am glad this book was not too long, could you really stand to read much more about this topic. Anyways, I found this book to be ok. It covered most topics and hit the highlights. There were definitely details that showed up on the shelf exam however that were not included in this book. For some reason, the psychiatry shelf exam is one of the tougher ones. I used this book in combination with a little pocket book called "Psychiatry: Current Clinical Strategies." That little book filled in details that this blueprints book skipped. Using the combination of the two books was adequate for the rotation and to do well on the shelf exam.
This book is sufficient for USMLE step 2, but I used other sources for to study for the boards, such as First Aid, Boards and Wards, and Prescription for the Boards.
