EXCEL ON ROTATION, IMPRESS ON THE WARDS, AND SCORE YOUR HIGHEST ON THE PSYCHIATRY CLERKSHIP AND SHELF EXAMS WITH THIS BESTSELLING STUDENT-TO-STUDENT REVIEW •Benefit from the wisdom of experienced clerkship faculty and residents •Mini-cases highlight classic patient presentations and frequently tested cases•A complete chapter on How to Succeed on the Psychiatry Clerkship provides a blueprint for exam success•Mnemonics, ward tips, mini-cases, diagrams, tables, and more provide a clear, realistic look at what to expect on exam day•Strong clinical emphasis guides you in the diagnosis and treatment of many problems seen by psychiatrists•Highlights all the important topics and provides a clear, concise review of psychiatry•Valuable discussion of medications and side effects •Everything you need to understand the differential diagnosis A STUDENT-TO-STUDENT GUIDE Review: BEST Resource for Psych in PA School - I cannot say enough good things about this book! I got it during my didactic year of Physician Assistant school and used it RELIGIOUSLY for studying not only DSM-5 disorders, but also for Pharmacology related to Psych (which is a LARGE component of the specialty). I not only got A's in all my Psych courses and tests in didactic, but also used this to study for my EOR during clinicals and PANCE exam and am happy to say that I passed both (with psychiatry being my STRONGEST subject). It is clear, concise, and provides helpful tidbits like mnemonics, ward tips, and rhymes to remember information (AND it has places to take notes in the margins!!). I also like it because it has a much more up-to-date list of the psych drugs than the textbook we were assigned and includes comparisons between meds in the same class, s/e profiles, and recs for prescribers. OVERALL: 10/10 recommend! Review: Excellent and easy to read - Highly recommend for med, pa, or np students on their psych rotation. Very digestible and easy to read and understand. This edition even goes over the side effects of specific anti-psychotics. I read the book from Start to finish and did well in my clinicals.

Test writers probably use this to make questions
Really fantastic! Most of my classmates hate on textbooks, and go all in for Anki...... But this was less textbook and more "everything that the test asks you about," and is way more manageable than Anki decks with thousands of cards. Did a chapter a day, finished halfway through my 6 week clerkship. Then did 20-40 UW questions per day, finished a few days before shelf. Felt really prepared and got good scores on practice NBMEs. Waiting for real score.

highly recommended for DSM-V up-to-date content
This is probably the best of the first-aid clerkship series books; comprehensive and well prepares you for the shelf. Importantly, this fifth edition is a necessity, because it includes the updated content from the DSM-V, which is dramatically different from the DSM-IV (and from the 4th edition of this book). I definitely recommend going for this current edition.

Great for psych rotation!
This book gives a good overview of each disorder, DSM-5 criteria, and guidelines for treatment. I was able to pull this up whenever my attending asked me specific questions about symptoms, clinical presentation and indications for pharmacotherapy. Definitely recommend for psych clerkship!

Everything you need for Psych shelf and Psych portion of Step 2 CK
This plus Uworld were my resources and they served me VERY well on my shelf exam and psych portion step 2 ck. If you're considering getting this, then just go on and get it! It's even better than First aid section.

Got me through all my psych rotations
And earned me honors in my sub I. Will get you through the critical things on shelf. Pharmacology chapters are a great review at the med school level.
