Puri's slim, pocket-sized Pocket Essentials of Psychiatry is perfect for medical students needing an easily accessible guide during their clinical attachments or who need an revision aid. Its eighteen chapters summarize the most important facts about psychiatric syndromes and its treatment. The text is very well structured and important points are highlighted in list and diagrams, making this pocketbook perfect for a quick review. I would recommend Puri’s Pocket essentials of psychiatry to everyone who is looking for a complete easy to use book that can easily be carried around in the clinic and has all the information you need to know about psychiatry in a well structured way.
