Psych Notes Great help!!!! Using it for a mental health nursing class & my sister is using it for her license in social work, we are both benefiting from it, thank you! | ||
Spectacular Resource! I passed the clinical social work licensing exam earlier this year but was introduced to this little notebook only a few weeks ago. Never before have I seen so much helpful (and well organized!) information in such a small package. Psych Notes is a small, spiraled notebook that contains incredibly helpful information for clinicians, including diagnostic criteria, rule-outs, effective treatment modalities, etc. It also outlines techniques for crisis management, group work, various individual therapeutic approaches, etc. If you are in graduate school for psych/social work, you can greatly benefit from this little book - especially as you study for licensing exams and need guidelines in clinical practice. | ||
Pocket Perfect! Small enough to carry yet chock full of clinical info -- psych drugs listed alphabetically, disorders/interventions, DSM, labs, assessment forms (depression, including Edinburgh Postnatal), clinical insights. Everything needed, easy to find info, for dealing with patients with psych disorders, in this pocket-size book. | ||
Psych notes This is a nice pocket size book but the print is just too small in it.There's good information in it and it's very colourful. It's hardwearing. Overall I did not like this book due to the small print size but it has lots of good information. | ||
Great learning tool This is a great pocket guide to take on clinicals at the hospital when you're on Psych floors. It is easy to carry in your pocket and very helpful when you need to look up a psych drug or something related to your patient. I like the fact that you can also write on it with pen and it comes off with alcohol pads. That way I don't have to carry paper pads with me too. | ||
