This is one of the newest handbooks out there!!!( i personally own a number of them)..I must state that its one of the best I have seen so far...pretty comprehensive for its size..some highlights are the focus on approach to different clinical situations which are very well written and immensely useful in clinical practice(such as being Oncall!!)..I would highly recommend this book to fellow residents!!!
This book was smaller and thinner than I thought it would be for the price I was paying, but after I looked inside, I realized that it was packed with the essentials and no junk! It is a very useful tool that I wish I had in my 1st and 2nd years of residency in Psychiatry, especially when I was on the inpatient and consultation/liason services. It is still useful for the latter years of residency though.
This is a real GEM ... its size is really small yet it contains practical information about almost everything you would face in your daily practice. information is delivered in a nice organized way. I love it.
MGH Residents handbook does exactly what it says, it's not let me down at all, when needing information on a topic. But it is a handbook, it's much smaller than I though, and the content is parred down to brief but thorough explanations without much "psychopath" explanation, just the facts. Then again, that's not what it was supposed to be. It is not a replacement for Kaplan and Saddocks Synopsis.Caveat... I'm a PDA user, and KS Synopsis is available on PDA now. MGH is not, I wish it were.Caveat 2.... ****HIGHLY reccomend ***Case Files for Psychiatry (available on pda or paper). It's not as comprehensive as MGH handbook, but it is far more ENGAGING, for med students or early interns steep in the learning curve. VERY VERY good, and works well on the PDA. It also has an awesome primer on changing ones thinking from basic science to clinical thinking, and an excellent diagnostic thought algorythm... it feels like a friend... it is far more engaging and easy to read and interesting than MGH. Maybe the 2 together are an excellent pack, along with KS Synopsis. Yes. Check out Case Files Psychiatry, it's awesome to pull you into the learning, thinking process, and unexpectedly comprehensive on each of the 60 topics it covers.
I use it almost every day, fits into coat pocket, print is quite small, have to strain your eyes to read. Contains very useful,practical information, everything is very well organized, succinct, lots of useful tables, really does what it's claims and is supposed to do, therefore 5 stars. A little larger print probably would not increase book thickness that much for the (hopefully) next edition?
This book is a must have for the Psychiatric Resident. It is also helpful in Internal Medicine, Surgery or any other residency training. It is well organized and full of great information. By Gregg L. Friedman MD, Psychiatrist, Hallandale Beach, FL
Great to use while on the patient unit, even though it still uses the DSM IV TR, it's really beneficial and helps learn the basics. Would recommend this book along with kaplan and saddock. If they ever come out with a new edition, I would totally snap it up.
The digital version is not "Kindle friendly." Important charts, tables etc are displayed in a font, like the original, but too small to read on the Kindle with no ability to zoom in. The content is helpful of course but, I recommend buying a more up-to-date Psych hand book or one that has been made to work well with Kindles, tablets etc.
