I’m allowed to count books I read for school towards my reading goal right, right

[Michael Albdewi]

Every book counts

[Bilen]

It may be a textbook, but hey, it's one step closer to my impossible reading goal and a whole lot closer to deciding my career path.

[Jayyan Al-Bailasan]

ممتاز للمراجعة ولإعطاء فكرة مبسطة عن الطب النفسي ، لكن لا يمكن اعتماده كمرجع أساسي

[Jennifer]

Great overview of psychiatric medicine in order to get reacquainted with the basic topics, medications, and treatments.

[David Morgan]

A really good overview of the pertinent information.

[Ethan Gerdts]

Perfect amount of depth with high yield stuff noted in the margins. Easy to get through during the rotation

[Sami Ismail]

Good, concise review for psychiatry

رائع ومدخل شامل وبسيط لمحبى الطب النفسي

[Tai]

My only resource for the psychiatry shelf. Only one I needed along with qbank questions. Very straight forward and high yield.

[Andrew Warren]

Great outline format. Very thin book you can get through a number of times during the clerkship. Not too detailed in pharmacology like some other psychiatry review books. Excellent overview, great shelf prep.

[Megan]

I wasn't a fan of psychiatry before I did my rotation and I still can't say that I am now - however, First Aid for Psych has been an excellent review source for me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and go as far as to say you probably won't need any other books to read during psych :)

[Lafe]

This book is a great way to prepare for the Clerkship shelf exam in Psychiatry.

[Marla Shu]

The only book I used for the psychiatry clerkship. No clinical cases but just straight up information. Excellent for psychopharmacology. Just do the Uworld questions, which are pretty damn easy.

[Aziz]

Psychiatry isn't really my favorite thing, but this book made my life a lot easier. Glad it's over !

[Isabel]

decent for the shelf exam, easy to read. a little more detail might have been nice though.

[Jen Bergeron]

Keeps it concise. The pharm chapter is really helpful

[Amy]

Excellent book for prepping for the Psychiatry Shelf and day-to-day for the Psych clerkship. I almost entirely relied on this for Shelf prep and got a 91.

[The Rose]

Basics. Nice bedtime reading.

[Dustin]

Not helpful at all. Bad scenarios. Poor format. Very unhappy.

[Keenan Boulnemour]

Good review. Not enough on its own to cover the psych shelf, so supplementing with practice Q's is a must along with this.

[Kaily]

Generally complete, high yield. Good info
