Reader Reviews
This review is from: Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry: Behavioral Sciences, Clinical Psychiatry (Paperback) 1,400 pages is a synopsis?! It's content would be perfect for a family doctor, but I think that's asking for too much reading for most. I know a lot of psychiatrists who really like the book, that's part of why I gave it 4 stars, but I think there are other, more accessible books. My med students read Nancy Andreason's book for a general introduction. Or read the Oxford Guide to Psychopathology, a MUCH better book; supplement with Steve Hyman's book on Pharm., and do your OWN exploring in the world of psychodynamics. To suggest this latter topic can be covered in ANY "synopsis" is insulting to the field. Comment | | (Report this)
