Summary: All of C & L between the covers of one book!
Review: OK, so it's not ALL of C&L, but it does represent the equivalent of the best review articles of each C&L subject(the way MY hospital teaches the subject.)In fact some of the hints, especially by Dr./Fr. Casem, I have not found anywhere else, and are very practical even at my basic level (I am a psychiatry resident,curently doing my C&L rotation.) My attending was so impressed at my "knowledge" (I'd read the book!), HE went out and bought one, too. If you've an interest in C&L psychiatry, or in the management of "difficult" patients on any hospital service, this book surely tops the list.

Summary: Psychiatry as it should be
Review: This is simply the best overview of psychiatry currently available. If you treat human beings--or simply want to understand them better,read this book. Why this one? Medical "literature," unfortunately, is often little more than data-mongering. Data can be interesting, but on its own, it will not help you care for patients competently and compassionately. Very rarely, a medical text goes beyond data and information to knowledge, an informed, balanced, comprehensive, learned, and practical perspective. This book is *always* knowledgeable, but often goes one better,achieving (and conveys) that most rare of medical traits, wisdom. Read this book: your patients, and your practice will be better for it.
