Clinical Psychiatry for Medical Students

This is a clear, readable, medically accurate account that is suitable for laypersons as well as med students. It's like the Merck manual but really goes into detail about psychiatric conditions and how they might be treated. Plus it gives some insider tips identified in the text as "clinical pearls" that that med students must learn but which doctors will often not divulge. An incredibly useful book if you or anyone in your life has a psychiatric/psychological problem. Includes a lot of additional information i.e. dealing with sexual abuse, geriatric psychological problems, teen problems, etc.
