I bought the third edition and found it very informative! It goes into depth about each section and provides verbiage on how to describe clients. Great tool to have, really cleared up a lot of things for me.

Book is very interesting, concised with simple language. If it is your 1st time to read or study about MSE you may find it boring & exhausting in front of all these terms & meanings. what helped me was that I Worked with patients & exercsied MSE a lot. Generally I recommend this book. I also recommend to read the book of psychiatry interview for the same publisher before this book. Try to practise what you read and be patient till you finish the 2 books, you will find information to be processed in your mind & practice. Good luck everybody.
