Doody's Book Review Service, 10-MAR-08, Marie A. Dewitt, MD, Rush University Medical Center -- This book is a one of a kind pocket-sized reference that addresses several of the various medical, neurological, and neuropsychiatric symptoms of psychiatric patients and covers some of the topics pertaining directly to psychiatric management. This is an extremely beneficial contribution to the limited number of psychiatric pocketbooks currently available and will fit nicely in a white coat pocket next the DSM and a pocket-sized psychopharmacology book. -Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 94; 4 Stars)
