Para mi este libro es ideal como introducción a la psicopatología descriptiva y que ya después se revisen otros textos, es claro conciso y su versión física es fácil de trasladar en el hospital o tener a la mano para elaborar mejor una nota. 
Conocer la historia de la psiquiatría en un solo 📕es difícil, en esté se la evolución de la psiquiatría en Europa y EUA, del DSM, la psicofarmacología entre otras cosas. El cierre es el resumen de lo que hoy se pretende enseñar sobre un abordaje integral.
Child psychiatrists take a lot of flak due to poor public stigma. It may surprise many that one of my commonly "prescribed" things from the Emergency Dept are:
a) schools to give academic grace to kids struggling with health (spare block, homework forgiveness, accommodations)
a) schools to give academic grace to kids struggling with health (spare block, homework forgiveness, accommodations)
b) parents to give adolescents privacy, improve their autonomy, and offer open-ended help without dictating how that help should occur
c) schools, parents, and systems to accommodate disabilities and neuro-atypicality rather than trying to "fix" the kid
Why I love being a #psychiatrist:
* Get to really know patients
* Lots of time to explore life and concerns in context
* Talk therapy, behavioural therapy, medication therapy, somatic therapy, and medical knowledge all available to benefit my patients

Of course I do prescribe medication, and when I do, I do a damned good job of it. Informed consent (Risks, benefits, alternatives, start/stop issues). Many times, I remove medications that were inappropriately started, or change to safer ones.
Other activities that I do far more commonly than prescribe medication:
* teach medical students, patients, and families
* email and call patients or familes
* administrate a hospital unit
* MEETINGS (patient-centered, YAY!)
* SO MANY MEETINGS (policy-centered, zzzzz)
