Complete Adult Psychotherapy Treatment Planner
This book is interesting, but it is far too "testbooky" and would benefit from being more focused on specific "how to" examples of treatment plans as do many other similar efforts.The text makes interesting reading, but, it didn't provide the concrete examples I expected.

Another great tool for the practioner's tool box.
Research suggests that an ever increasing number of practioners are relying on tools such as this to help formulate treatment plans. Thank You.
Just what I needed, such a time saver now I can actually use my brain power to help not just write about it--Thanks again. ... Read more

One text cannot do it all, but this one tries.
The book seems to have two goals: Clinical use of TEE in the cardiac operating room; and passing the "Echo Exam."

Excellent reference!
This text offers a straight-forward reference to assist in the management of gyn problems I commonly encounter as a Family Doctor.It goes into great detail about anatomy and physiology of gynecologic problems yet is well-organized for use as a "quick reference".For example, it took less than a minute to find the section on hirsuitism to refresh my memory as to what the initial work-up should consist of.

A must have for anyone involved in basic infertility
This is an incredible book.Speroff is still the king when it comes to infertility.In our OB/Gyn setting we refer to it many times in our treatment of basic infertiltiy and have had great success following the guidelines given by Speroff.It should be on the bookshelf of anyone who treats basic infertility!!

DEFINITELY A MUST HAVE

From a 32 year veteran teacher.
This is a great book to use with prek students as well as kindergarten and first graders.The lesson plans are there to use as is or to be modified to fit the needs of your students.

Woderful!
I have found this book wonderful. It brings us tools to teach phonemic awareness to children that are struggling readers.It has a lot of activities they like and step by step are taking them to the beautiful world readers have.
No Regrets Here!! This is the BEST book EVER!!
I am a new teacher and I am trying to build up a library of resources. I bought this book hoping it would be helpful. I am so glad I purchased it. The activities are simple and concise, but they were developed with the children in mind. They will enrich your higher kids and strengthen your lower readers. Great for Kindergarten to intro basic phonics, super for first grade!! They will be fun to use in the classroom. The book is also FULL of information about phonics and linguistics. Do not hesitate purchasing this book. ... Read more

excellent for part I
Used only this book for the neuro part of the boards and passed easily!

mixed review
I am a neuropsychologist (and Assistant Professor of Neurology at a major university) studying for board certification. This book was recommended study material. I found the basic neurology review quite helpful, but the discussion of individual diseases/conditions were mixed. It seems as if Kaufman has overstepped his areas of expertise. The lit review for many areas was sparse and he presents things as solid facts when, in fact, the empirical literature is quite mixed (and not having citations in the text makes it all but impossible to do fact checking). Other information is just plain wrong. The material in this volume is too wide to have been written by a single author. Kaufman would have been better off serving as an editor, having experts in a given area write the respective chapters.

Wonderful Guide
Trying to study for recertification in geriatric psychiatry, I got this book. It contains the best teaching on the subject I've ever experienced. Wish I'd had it when I was starting out. ... Read more

It's a good read
I liked the book and it didn't take long for me to read it. I did not grow up in a home with alcoholism or drug addiction (Other than nicotine), but I was able to relate to a lot of what was written in the book.

not helpful
I didn't find journaling and the recovery phase at all helpful. I think it's a lot of theory and not enough practical wisdom and the section on making requests for what you want in your partner totally ridiculous. In real life this doesn't work.

Recovery Tools
This book was recommended by my therapist. After going thru the whole book and writing all the exercises, I have unlocked and unloaded a ton of childhood pain and trauma.You will shed floods of tears and feel terrible feelings you have buried, but this process is like the purging of toxins so you can begin to heal.

NEW AND TIMELY PURCHASE
I received the new book promptly; plus, it was at a great price.

Terrific help
Very helpful, the only resource I used for the exam.Will sell my copy, no marks and CD in perfect condition. contact me at thegeo98@sbcglobal.net

Goal Achieved!
A Case Manager's Study Guide: Preparing for Certification works well for the motivated self learner. The information contained in the book is thorough and concise. I felt prepared for the test after I completed my studies. The test questions, with the added benefit of having them on a CD-ROM, provide the learner with an excellent opportunity to prepare for the certification test environment, especially if you have test anxiety! I just received notice that I met the qualifications and passed the examination to be qualified as a Certified Case Manager(CCM). ... Read more

Feeling good Hand Book
this is an excellent self help book that can be used in conjunction with treatment to address depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

Useful Addition
Definitely a useful companion to go along with the basic text.Sincerely and consistently practice the principles within these books and your life will change.Never give in to the despair of depression, it is an evil that can be conquered on a daily basis with persistence and courage.I personally know about the hell of depression, and also know that there is a way through it.Highly recommended.

Cognitive therapy classic
I read this book when I was going through a divorce several years ago.The handbook helped me to review the thinking that was contributing to my depression. Although my depression was situational, I was overwhelmed and was filtering information negatively.Recently, my son went through a depression and I gave him this book and another excellent book, Optimal Thinking--How to Be Your Best Self that provides specific questions to resolve disturbing emotions.I recommend each of these books. ...

Very Disappointed
Like the comment of some reviewers we see on line, there are many inaccuracies in the text as well as mistakes especially when it comes to anatomy.
Miller Review of orthopaedics
A good text for an overview of key concepts to know...will need a color atlas for better pictures though.Through coverage of most topics of interest for residents, and a good review for the OITE

Excellent review text, poor proofreading by the editors
Miller and co. have the unenviable task of compressing all of orthopaedics into a concise text for review. Remarkably so, they have improved on an already invaluable resource for residents and practicing orthopods alike. Given the number of syntax errors and content inconsistencies (see hand section) it appears that they may have rushed this edition to print, thus the "4 stars" ranking. This text still remains the standard to which other review books are compared. ... Read more

Save yourself the time.... Xmarks the worst book
Save yourself the time, money, and paper and simply find a friend who likes to tell their life events in a melodramatic and neurotic way. Listen to that person jab for 5 hours and you've officially read the book! This book asserted my wish to NEVER be a therapist because I would simply tell patients like her as one of her therapist did to kill herself.It's harsh but my goodness after this book I just felt like a leech sucked all the life out of me.

Wurtzel seems to enjoy her misery
I read Prozac Nation because I had heard it was a good book and I myself have been struggling with depression for a lifetime.I have a family history of it (brothers and grandparent's suicides), plus traumatic childhood.
Please shut up
Anyone who has experienced severe depression for decades will not be willing -or able, in some cases -to put up with Wurtzel's whiny memoir.

Good research, disjointed storytelling
This book covers a lot of ground and Barry has done some great research.What Barry does not do is maintain a consistently engaging narrative. As others have noted, the book could have used some judicious editing.It probably could have lost 100 pages in my view.

Principles of Critical Care-book
I know this book from my residency years,when I rotate in ICU,
A must!!
This text is clearly one of the best in its field. It is well organized and very thorough. The organization and attention to detail make it a great referrence source and an easy read. It should be in anyone's library that takes of critically ill patients. I would highly recommend it for fellows in critical care medicine. The "Pretest" question and answer study guide that is a companion to this text is also excellent and a great tool for the critical care boards. I am anxiously awaiting the next edition.

Principles of Critical Care
This is an excellent review of the most common problems found in the clinical practice of Critical Care. It helps with the initial assessment of the patient and formulates a systematic approach to the differentialdiagnosis and therapeutic plan. The bibliography is updated and it hasdetailed illustrations and diagrams. Certainly, recommended as referencefor those persons involved in the management of Critical Care patients. ... Read more

Excellent book for 4th year Medical Students
This book is extremely well written and has all the information you are most likely to be pimped on.When residents have seen me reading it they say this is one of the best books around and that this new edition is extremely well done with the use of color and organization of topics.Most of these same residents will whip out their old copies and ask if they can compare the two to see if its worth them buying the new edition.
Buy this book if you practice Anesthesia
Great reference! I am a Nurse Anesthetist and I use this book almost daily with my clinical students. The book is direct and to the point. It is logically arranged and well written. I also have the second ed. and this is a vast improvement. I ordered several for my fellow anesthetist. Nice job Dr. Duke!!!

Impressive
As a nurse I have worked in PACU for a couple of years, but it was only after reading through this book, temporarily abandoned on a table in the unit by one of the residents, that I realized of how much about the subject I was quite ignorant.I decided to remedy the deficiency by reading more on the topic.Although we had a number of books on the nursing aspect of anesthesia, I found that most of them bogged me down in things I really didn't need to know to do my job.It was interesting to learn about the demographics of PACU nurses or about the amount of space needed for each patient bed, for instance, but it wasn't really helpful.I decided to purchase the book the resident had been reading, Anesthesia Secrets.I wasn't disappointed.
