Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Steven T Herron, MD (CPI/Assurance Health and Wellness)
Description: As a comprehensive review of most of the relevant and important topics in the field of psychiatry, this two-volume set is weighty both literally (almost 24 pounds) and figuratively. However, this edition also includes access to an online version.
Purpose: The editors seek to provide an updated understanding of not only the history of this field, but also the current knowledge in the field and what lies ahead in the field.
Audience: Though geared mainly for individuals with some experience and understanding of mental health issues (behavioral health clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, attorneys, social workers, and trainees in these fields), this book may also serve an educational purpose for those less seasoned in the field.
Features: With two extensive volumes, this work covers virtually every aspect of psychiatry, from its history to psychiatric education to "world aspects of psychiatry." Chapters are written by various well-informed authors and contain numerous diagrams, figures, and tables, and conclude with a list of references which is not overwhelming. It is slightly disappointing the figures and diagrams are not in color given the price of this book, but they are clear and of good quality despite this drawback.
Assessment: Having owned previous editions, I have become quite familiar with this book over the years. It remains one of the better references in the field of psychiatry, not only for its content, but also for the expertise of the authors. Though quite daunting at first glance, the table of contents enables readers to quickly locate desired information. And while the print volumes are too large and heavy to carry around for reference, the online version makes this edition much or portable and useful for everyday clinicians. Overall, this is a welcome addition to any mental health provider's library, and one that will likely be used time and time again.
