 DSM-IV Purchase July 12, 2008
Recently misplaced my DSM-IV quick-reference manual and needed one desperately for my work. Ordered from Amazon and had my replacement within a week. This little book is a must when you are working within a tight schedule so I really appreciate having Amazon and its sellers as a resource for replacing hard to find items such as the DSM-IV manual.
convenient March 30, 2008
I like how convenient this book is...it is small enough to carry in my purse.
Worth the money February 27, 2008
It is exactly what it says, a quick reference. If you are buying it for clinical work for quick referencing in staff meetings it is perfect however it does not replace the full DSM for thorough case studies. If you need a quick and small reference, I would suggest buying this book.
Very useful December 2, 2007
This is so much easier than carrying the huge book around. It is short and sweet. I do have to refer to "the big one" from time to time, but love this little thing!
Essential for honoring any psychiatry rotation October 6, 2007
The mini-DSM IV is an excellent resource. It's like the big fat one without all the unnecessary weight. I used it mainly for looking up mental disorder criteria while on rounds or during morning report. It also fits nicely in your pocket and impresses the attendings and residents. Anything to show them your commitment goes a long way towards a good evaluation at the end of the rotation. I mainly used this and the pocket pharmacopoeia on the wards and studied from NMS Psych at home, though I'm told First Aid for Psych is much better for home study.
I've never really been interested in psych so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. On the other hand I got great evals on the rotation with this and other materials.
I'd probably buy this book again if I hadn't already completed my psych rotation. It'll serve me well on other rotations when I need to refer to psych for something. It's worth the slightly high dollar amount ascribed to it.
