Review quotes

"This book is intended for medical students preparing for the psychiatry shelf exam and USMLE board exam. It may also serve as a refresher on basic psychiatry concepts for non-psychiatric providers, but the level of depth is likely too low for practicing psychiatrists to find useful. The book meets the needs of the intended audience as the degree of complexity is sufficient to prepare a medical student for an exam."
