Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: "Blueprints" in Psychiatry Comment: This is a great concise review of psychiatric disorders, their diagnosis according to the DSM IV and management options. This series has served me well in my core rotations in psychiatry. Especially, if you do not have much downtime and you need something quick to review, this is a great resource. Customer Rating: Summary: An ok book, but not comprehensive. Comment: I am glad this book was not too long, could you really stand to read much more about this topic. Anyways, I found this book to be ok. It covered most topics and hit the highlights. There were definitely details that showed up on the shelf exam however that were not included in this book. For some reason, the psychiatry shelf exam is one of the tougher ones. I used this book in combination with a little pocket book called "Psychiatry: Current Clinical Strategies." That little book filled in details that this blueprints book skipped. Using the combination of the two books was adequate for the rotation and to do well on the shelf exam. This book is sufficient for USMLE step 2, but I used other sources for to study for the boards, such as First Aid, Boards and Wards, and Prescription for the Boards. Customer Rating: Summary: too basic Comment: not enough info for the shelf- very basic- some good charts- i mainly used pretest and platinum psychiatry vignettes to study- good for quick review Customer Rating: Summary: Quick and in great shape Comment: I would strongly recommend this seller. Item was delivered quickly and in great shape as described Customer Rating: Summary: DSM Rehash Comment: After hearing several positive things about Blueprints Psychiatry, I decided to go to the store and buy it. Didn't want to work too hard, didn't want to look like a total moron. Then I picked it up, and I think I've seen bulkier books written by another doctor (Seuss, that is). But brevity isn't necessarily bad, so I checked it out at the library instead and read it in 3 days of semi-hard studying. Yeah... I think should've gone with the other book, Green Eggs and Ham. The problem with Blueprints is that it largely rehashes DSM-IV guidelines. That's OK, and it's a big part of psych, but you can get that with the Current Clinical guidelines pocketbook. What I was really expecting/wanting was something that (1) had bits of annoying trivia pertinent to the exam (2) more information on psychoactive drugs (3) described in more detail patient presentations and (4) discussed how other medical diseases could present like psych disorders. Blueprints skims these issues. I would buy First Aid for the Psych Clerkship instead. It's a quick read as well but provides more info. I had a good score on the psych shelf, and I think switching primary sources had a great deal to do with it. If you like the Blueprints series, just check it out or borrow it from a friend. Blueprints Q&A, though, is an excellent question resource.
