Pocket Psychiatry (Pocket Notebook Series)

Pocket Psychiatry, a new addition to the *Pocket Notebook* series, is written by residents for residents. This high-yield, easy-to-use resource is designed to help students, trainees, and other healthcare professionals navigate the initial psychiatric evaluation and management of the most commonly encountered psychiatric conditions. Emphasizing evidence-based information, *Pocket Psychiatry* provides a concise and accessible reference for essential hospital- and clinic-based psychiatric care—from history and physical examination to differential diagnosis, diagnostic testing, and therapeutics—in the well-known loose-leaf pocket-size format.

* Bulleted lists, tables, diagrams, and algorithms make essential facts easy to find and retain.
* Progresses logically from symptoms to differential diagnosis, workup and diagnosis, assessment of the risks and benefits of available treatments, to treatment and prognosis.
* Includes reviews of the highest-impact clinical trials and key literature guiding psychiatric care.
* Covers all major psychiatric diagnoses, as well as the management of psychiatric emergencies, the intersection of psychiatry and the legal system, and a quick-reference guide to the medications most commonly used in psychiatric practice.
* Written by psychiatry and medicine residents from Harvard University and edited by senior faculty.
