Reviews

"The black-and-white illustrations and tables are of good quality and sufficient quantity and are adequately described. Definitions of terms listed at the end of each chapter were quite useful. The book, which is organized by the traditional areas of the mental status exam, could be a useful introduction for students and residents."-- Doody's Journal
"Excellent, well written book."--Amnon Kahane, MD, Yale University
"Intensively reviews the knowledge, vocabulary, and skills necessary to perform an effective and complete psychiatric mental status examination....It is refreshing to come across a text that takes the time to teach the menatal exam...an art that can only be known through example and practice.--General Hospital Psychiatry
