"The best yet! The new 8th edition of the standard reference text in psychiatry covers the field in a manner true to its titleit is 'comprehensive', beautifully demonstrating the rapidly growing breadth of the field. The authors comprise a veritable who's who of psychiatry, and yet, for such a multi-authored text, it reads smoothly. This two-volume text belongs on the shelf of practitioners, trainees, and students. The editors get my heartiest congratulations for topping themselves yet again." Alan I.
