Good books for psych electives?

[rskhan29]

Hey guys,

I'm doing three electives in psychiatry next year (maybe more if i can swing this last minute change). One will be in geriatric psychiatry, one will be in child psychiatry, and the other will be in general psychiatry. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for some books to read, particularly for geriatric and child psychiatry. I'm looking for something that goes a bit beyond the MS3 level.

Thanks and sorry if this has been posted!

I'm on a geriatric elective right now, and this is the required book:

I really enjoy it so far, and find it very helpful.
