 "Synopsis" 2009-12-15
By M. S. Dawson (WAterloo, IA)
The book arrived on time and in perfect condition. It is a must for those studying psychiatry and the treatments of mental illness. It is also an essential reference.

 "Saddocks are unreliable" 2009-12-03
By Justin Reilly (Lafayette, CO)
The Saddocks do bad job in the section on ME in the unabridged textbook with many falsehoods included and also in the concise textbook it is not addressed except en passant as the only disease mentioned as being associated with mixed depression/anxiety which is misleading to say the least. I expect they do a similarly bad job here.

By L. Wong
I think the book is a fantastic resource. Excellent information, lots of detail, but easy to get at the key points. Really nice in that it gives a lot of epidemiology. A must for any psychiatric resident, and certainly good for any mental health provider.

 "Must have for your Psych library!!" 2009-10-15
By JuzCozy (Jack, TN)
It's very similar to the DSM manual, yet is easier to read and understand. It's written so that everyone can understand what they are reading without having to be in the field.

 "Excellent Review book; Except for developmental theories" 2009-05-30
By Multifaceted Lee (Miami, FL USA)
I am studying for my 10 year re-certification for the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Boards. This book gives a good concise review of all the different syndromes and treatments. It is full of facts that I can picture being put into a multiple choice question as I am reading. The only drawback is that it doesn't include stages of cognitive, physical, psychological, and moral development.

 "Inaccurate" 2009-12-01
By Justin Reilly (Lafayette, CO)
Inaccurate on ME (CFS). The treatment of ME is better than most other general texts in that it does have a few facts such as some details on endocrine and immune pathology. But it also repeats the same old falsehoods found in a lot of others. These include that there is good evidence for CBT and GET; no listing of other therapies; stating that etiology is in part at least probably psychiatric; etc. Obviously a careful review of the literature was not conducted.

 "review of the book of psychiatry by saddock and kaplan" 2008-07-09
By Tarek Musslimani (israel)
This book is not as useful as the synopsis of psychiatry by the same author. It seems to me that it is written for commercial purpose and not to communicate information. Thats because some of the text in the synopsis is reproduced in the comprehensive text about psychiatry. Taking its high price i do not recommend it for you to buy it.

 "Yes, it's worth the money." 2007-10-30
By Jack Irons
This is probably the best reference/text to be found concerning psychiatry (and related fields). Anyone in a behavioral science field could benefit from this 2 volume, 55 chapter text. Excellent information, case studies, algorithms, tables & figures, & DSM-IV-TR/ICD-10 dx criteria, etc.



A major shortcoming is the index. The index could be much more detailed considering how much detail is in the text. As noted by another reviewer, one might have to tediously comb through an entire chapter or section to find information not indexed. However, the lackluster index doesn't outweigh the utility of this product.

 "the bible for the psychiatrist" 2006-07-25
By Wiseguy 945 (Omaha, NE)
If you are in psychiatry, then you know that this is the basic textbook of psychiatry training. If you are a medical student (unless you are going into psychiatry), this book is to comprehensive as a reference, and I strongly recommend the 10th edition synopsis book, which itself is around 1500 pages. This book has everything in it, and great tables to boot. I don't find it overwehlming to read as well. Though it may explain a lot of history behind a diagnosis and diffent changes throughout the course of it, it does not come off as being an "overwordy" text, like many comprehensive textbooks can be. It does not leave me with the "what did I just read, i need to re-read that" sense. So this is a good investment for the psychiatrist, and an absolute investment for any resident. This book, when actually used, will allow you to pass the boards.

 "Great product" 2005-11-01
By Maverick (NY, USA)
This CD is very easy to navigate and it holds the whole

2-volume text of Kaplan and Sadock's textbook. The textbook is the smartest and most coplete book that I ever encounted in murky field of Psych.

As for myself, it is much easier to scroll the computer screen than glean into such heavy printed manual as K&S's.
