Kaplan and Sadock's Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry (2 Volume Set) 10th Edition

Great update! Obviously I haven't been able to read a ton, but the updates to the pharmacology sections and neurobiology sections are great. I do feel this was a great update to older editions. I prefer the physical book, but have honestly spent more time looking at the online version or mobile app. I have no complaints about the online access or mobile app. By and large they work fine. It's interesting how much larger this book is compared to the first edition I bought in the early 90s (6th edition). Of course, as others in the field have said, it lacks in some areas, but overall it is an excellent overview of all aspects of psychiatry, psychology, and psychopharmacology, in addition to related medical problems and subspecialties.

This book set is very thorough. I would recommend it to any psychiatrist. Really I wouldn’t want to go see a psychiatrist that didn’t have this in their office and at least read it once or twice. If anyone knows a psychiatrist who has read this book set twice please let me know I will refer all my complicated patients to them immediately. I am a practicing Board certified psychiatrist in Ardmore Oklahoma and I give this book set 2 really big thumbs up.

NOT A 2 VOLUME SET - RECEIVED ONLY THE 2ND VOLUME. Inaccurate description, returning immediately - what a waste of my time...

I need these books for work. It is the industry wide resource. I'm glad I purchased them for less than $300.00. The only thing missing was the shrink wrap.

Just follow the instructions for eBook download. You will be instructed to download “Bookshelf” app. Will plan to keep hardcopy in my office and read eBook at home!

Its a gigantic tome of course—its the book we’re referring to when we say we’re doing something “by the book.”. As such it lacks for creativity and outside the box thinking. This I can accept; what I find less agreeable in a book of this price is the lousy editing. Nearly every paragraph I’ve read has an error—a missing word, the wrong verb tense, etc. It gives the impression that either the editors didn’t care about the quality of the work, or they were in such a hellfire hurry that they left a trail of mistakes behind them. Are there other errors which aren’t so obvious? Important numbers such as doses, half-lives, response rates? I’m guessing so.

It arrived with some dents at the sides but overall the book was in great condition. Thank you.

Right tool for me. I am a psychologist working with MD's. This is a useful tool and generally more informative than quick search of internet.
