What books/resources do you recommend for an incoming intern?
In order to stagger the purchases (books are expensive), which 2 books would you recommend as absolute musts to have from the beginning?
And which others can be bought after getting paid 🙂 ?

Lots of threads on this, recommend you start with some of the links in here: Applying For Psychiatry Residency & Great Articles/Books In Psychiatry

Having just finished intern year I wouldn't say there were any 100% must haves, but a good psychopharmacology book (I used Maudsley's, which is excellent) was helpful. A good MI book can be helpful early on as well.

Thanks Evidence Based! Yes, I saw several listed in those links and also on a FB group called Psychiatry Network. However, I am a little hesitant to buy all of them at the outset. I decided to buy DSM and Stahl's Prescriber's guide for now, and will go from there. I am thinking of getting one for interviewing as well. Probably, Psychiatric Interviewing by Shawn Christopher Shea.
