Review Summary: good psych book
Date: 2008-05-18
Details: This book is very well written - it explains the various psych issues and disorders in an easy to read, easy to understand format. It reviews psych medications as well as psych issues related to children and adolescents. The book comes with a CD that has some nclex type questions, but ideally it would have more questions on it (thats why I only gave it 4 stars).
