Concise Guide to Evaluation and Management of Sleep Disorders, Third Edition

Rating:
Summary: Practical Clinical Compendium of Sleep Medicine
Review: Written by a group of Psychiatrist with an active sleep disorders practice. Concise but very comprehensive of the field, and small enough to fit your pocket. The drug effects part is very useful. Organized around diseases as a clinician would see them and not like the ICSD manual which is more academic and research oriented. A good introduction and overview for the student but a good review for the young sleep specialist, also. Needs to be updated yearly because of new medications and treatment. A reasonable price so it can be used as a gift to interested friends.
