At the outset, this book shows every promise of being a great book for a psychiatry, psychopathology, or behavioral sciences course. It has a great layout, plenty of USMLE-style review questions (most of which are actually good), and covers a broad spectrum of topics. Yet, here the expectations end unfulfilled.
The text is too long to be a review book and yet, too perfunctory and simple to be a textbook. It lies in a middling area of inadequacy. The authors would have done better to include more detail so as to be comprehensive and/or restructured the text to eliminate a lot of unnecessary sentences dedicated to explaining simple concepts that belittle the, no doubt, educated reader. There are much better texts in terms of learning behavioral sciences for the Step 1 such as the BRS or High-Yield books by Barbara Fadem, these books are much more succinct and stick to the relevant material.

I had absolutely no problem with buying this book. The book arrived without delay and in excellent condition. I believe I bought the book as "like new" but it looks brand new to me. I would highly recommend this seller. Thanks~
