Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry - Tenth Edition

Kaplan and Sadock''s synopsis of psychiatry - 10th edition. My first encounter with Kaplan and Sadock's Psychiatry book is was not a happy experience. Yeah It was the Kaplan and Sadock's Text book of psychiatry. Today I am presenting this book which is different from the text book, synopsis of Psychiatry has always being my ultimate reference for my unsoloved psychitry questions.

Yes this book is really helpful and this is one of the book in the referral book list in many of the license and board exams. It has almot every topic covered comprehensively but very clearly in clinical psychiatry. As this is a USA based book, it has used DSM iv instead of ICD 10. But at relevant places it shows the differences between two diagnostic criteria.

If you are finding hard how to remember various defensive mechanisms which is a frequently tested topic in USMLE and LMCC exams, reading this book will be the only solution.

Following is the book description given at Amazon:
