Product Description
Book Description
Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the go”. Their highly affordable price represents great value for those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses: Common investigations (ECG, Chest X-Ray, etc), Clinical skills (procedures, patient examination, etc), Important and/or complex specialties in which students receive comparatively little dedicated training (psychiatry, renal medicine). Highly structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the fear factor associated with day to day clinical training, and provides “just enough” for a new rotation.

A pocket guide must be concise, comprehensive, accurate, readable and easy to dip in & out of in a hurry.
Pocket Tutor Psychiatry ticks all the boxes.
Before reading it, I feared that a pocket guide could not cover enough relevant content to be useful. I was wrong to be skeptical. The succinct writing style imparts large amounts of information clearly and crisply.
Every chapter begins with a clinical scenario, placing content into the appropriate practical context. The rest of the chapter is a judicious blend of text, tables, charts and bullet points that allow the reader to rapidly navigate to the part they're interested in. Psychiatry is frequently an intimidating subject for medical students and junior doctors. I feel that this book's astute balance of readable and comprehensive content will positively engage the next generation of doctors, hopefully drawing more of them into the field. Definitely worth getting!

Format:Paperback
Compared to 10 years ago, there are loads of psych textbooks now on the market ranging from multi-volume to short guide format. I don't know whether this explosion of publishing activity reflects a growing understanding of the importance of psychiatry or a worrying lack of knowledge about the subject among some doctors... :)
Anyway, Pocket Tutor Psychiatry fills a useful niche towards the more concise end of the range. It gets the balance right between brevity and inclusivity, with good layout work making it a handy book to have around when you want to quickly double-check a fact. It's also surprisingly enjoyable to read (as far as a textbook can be!) with case studies and other occasional asides brightening the mood.
If you're after a book to quickly get up to speed (or refresh the memory), I reckon Pocket Tutor Psychiatry will do the trick!
