This is the best textbook for psychiatry I have ever read

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am a psychiatric nurse and a student at one of the top schools for the PMHNP-DNP program. This is the best textbook for psychiatry I have ever read, it is comprehensive with epidemiology and psychodynamic, biological and social factors/etiology for each diagnosis and considerations for both therapy and pharm treatment. The photos are wonderful. I especially liked that they included oft overlooked contributory diagnostics like EEG changes (ex:slow wave common in some personality disorders) because really psychiatry should be holistic and diagnosis in psychiatry CAN AND SHOULD be an exact science relying upon more than the DSM-5. (steps down off of soapbox)

A comprehensive, foundational reference text for psychiatry

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Synopsis of Psychiatry as long been the gold standard of psychiatric textbooks. Walk into most mental health clinician's offices and this sits on their book shelf. My alma mater used the 10th edition of this book throughout the entire program.

I recently developed a psychiatry program for a local university and was selecting the foundational textbook. I went about comparing this book with Black's (2014) Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, Sixth Edition , Hale's (2014) The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry , and Gabbard's (2014) Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders . While Black, Gabbard, & Hale all offer something unique, this book by far provides the most in-depth and comprehensive overview of the field of psychiatry. This book is also priced similarly or cheaper than the books noted above. In the end, I stuck with Synopsis of Psychiatry.

The downside to this book is that it is very heavy with 1400+ pages. The text is tiny and organized into two columns per page. Sometimes I find it difficult to follow the textual organization on each page. This is likely not a book you will read cover to cover. The only colored images are of different medication pills and brain imaging at the front of the book. The rest of the book is black, white, and pink. I should note, that the other books I mentioned above are also in grey scale and have far fewer images throughout the text.

Compared with the books mentioned above, Synopsis of Psychiatry provides more detailed historical information about each mental illness and a much more thorough discussion of child and adolescent psychiatry. This book, compared with others, also provides more information about theories of personality and psychopathology and it includes two chapters dedicated to the contributions of psychosocial sciences and sociocultural sciences.

For each mental disorder, this book does include the DSM 5 criteria, history, epidemiology, clinical features, associated symptoms, differential diagnosis, course, prognosis, and treatment options. On the other hand, Gabbard's text offers a much more detailed analysis of treatment options for each individual disorder.

In the end, this is an excellent foundational and reference textbook. It is bulky, heavy, and difficult to read the tiny text. The paperback version does come with a "free enhanced ebook." I would recommend using this or the Kindle version and reading the book on your tablet or computer. It lends to a much more comfortable reading experience.

This book is a damaged mess

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

The attached photos are what I found when I opened the box. This is supposed to be a book I will have for the duration of my career. Both sides of the book are damaged, the front is completely damaged, so much that I can hardly open the table of contents. The binding is weak and feels like it is about to fall off. The book doesn’t even lay flat.

The box is intact and perfectly fine, so this must have happened prior to transport.

Such a disappointment. Hopefully the company will send me a nice replacement and allow this disaster to be returned. They have good reviews, so this must be a fluke.

Still one of the best psychiatry textbooks.

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

This text book has been a study companion and reference for me since my residency days. I used this book in conjunction with the K/S review questions book to prepare for board exams and use it frequently to read up on specific topics. The book is very comprehensive. I"m still exploring the new edition, thus far I especially appreciate the update on genetics and pharmacology, among others. The DSM-5 update of all chapters is helpful for review. Actually no need to buy the APA DSM-5 book separately, this book has all the diagnostic categories in tables and explanations of diagnostic criteria. Also has numerous cases. All in all, a very worthwhile purchase.

Addendum: The purchase includes e_book access. Tried the e_book on my android tablet and find that there is no highlighting function, no copy or print function, no note function,no good text to speech function etc. All it offers is basic book reading, nothing else. Needs more functions such as those mentioned to be fully useful. I understand that more functions are offered for iOS and windows platform, android needs work.

I really liked being able to download the e_book to my android tablet via the Inkling app from google play store. It was very easy to do and once downloaded, no internet connection is necessary for reading. I consider this feature a real plus, reminds me of kindle. The downside is that Inkling download/reading is limited to two devices, tough if you are a 'multi-devicer' .

Must have!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2016

Rented this book for my Psychopathology class and I plan on buying it out. This book together with the DSM 5 are a must have if you're a clinician. It describes each mental health disorder and includes pharmacological (with side effects and suggested age) and psychosocial interventions to treatment.

PS: This book is huge and heavy.

Great as a desk reference for anyone in the helping professions

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

An essential reference for anyone in the helping professions. I bought it as a required text for an Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment planning course. I will definitely be holding on to it as a desk reference. It includes all DSM-5 diagnoses, and their suggested psychotherapy and pharmalogical treatments for them.

It is a comprehensive book, consisting of all the necessary information pertaining to the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria (from DSM - 5), and treatment plans for each and every psychological disorder. Equally beneficial for psychiatrists as well as psychologists.

Bought a "used-like new" copy of this extremely expensive yet very very important book for all the psychiatry and clinical psychology students. The quality was excellent. Doesn't feel like it is a "used" copy at all, no markings, no name, nothing on the book. Got it in half the price compared to the fresh new book. I am very satisfied with this.

Gold standard for psych students

If you ever plan to do your masters in clinical psychology or study psychopathology this book is a must. It’s a gold standard. Don’t think about the price because if you plan to continue your career in the same field aforementioned, then you’re always going use this book. This book not only contains excellent information about mental disorder, it also contains dsm v criteria as well. I’m glad my professor introduced me to this book.

One thing seemed to me unprofessional, the cover of this book is not the as the original US edition but for Indian edition only, but there in book, is references of theme for the cover addressing the US edition but the description doesn't fit with this edition. Why such boring cover?

Disappointing and somewhat unreliable...

Reviewed in Canada on November 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Many mistakes. Some passages have not been updated with DSM-5 changes and seem to be copied as-is from previous versions of the Synopsis. Seems less detailed than previous versions on certain aspects. Clearly outdated on many treatment options discussed within chapters (in regards to medication and therapy). Excessive focus on psychodynamic theory in discussions of etiology and treatment, with less emphasis on evidence-based practice. Some chapters do not include full DSM-5 criteria.
