Reviews

The volume includes enough fun facts to impress supervisors, enliven discourse with peers, and position one to succeed in forensic trivia contests. Each chapter ends with a succinct summary of take away points, bringing home the key concepts. The format will be a boon to students, residents, fellows, and experienced practicing psychiatrists alike who are striving to learn and keep up to date efficiently. Forensic fellows will appreciate this text as a helpful resource and guide for board examination preparation. * Rory P. Houghtalen, M.D., Journal of Psychiatric Practice September 2019 *
