Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This book serves as a worthy update to the previous edition written in 2014. The authors made the choice to simplify the amount of detail and artwork in this edition compared to previous editions, but the degree of high-yield information is maintained throughout. Those familiar with previous editions of the text will be able to easily navigate and familiarize themselves with this new edition. This title has long been regarded as one of the best psychiatric reference texts, and there has been no sacrifice in text quality."

-- Chad Percifield, DO (Michigan State University College of Medicine) Doody's Review

"I continue to be impressed with this book. With a 40-year history of continued revisions, it is simply the best overall review.... This edition is superb in explaining the changes of the DSM-5, which is the main point of this update. If you were to purchase one review book, this would be the one."

-- Aaron Plattner, MD (Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services) Doody's Review - previous edition

"What an outstanding new edition this is! This is easily one of the best, if not the best psychiatric textbook around, perhaps even better than the two-volume set because of its ease of use. This new edition is welcome in our rapidly evolving field. No psychiatrist or mental health worker should be without a copy, since Kaplan & Sadock has long been the definitive reference in our field."

-- William Miles, MD (Rush University Medical Center) Doody's Review - previous edition
