Can you all summarize the main differences between Stahl's prescribers guide vs neuroscientific basis and practical applications books? Is one just an abbreviated version of the other like Kaplan & Sadock has? As an intern, which is more useful? Are both necessary? Thanks

Side question
Anyone familiar with Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists by Kaufman? Worth the money?

Thanks yall.

Anyone familiar with Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists by Kaufman? Worth the money?

I found Kaufman extremely helpful in studying for the boards. Didn't really use it much during residency, though.

A quick search for "Stahl" brings up a plethora of threads about Stahl's book, related books, and recommended books for interns. You'll probably find some good information in pre-existing threads.

Even if you just read Kaufmann just a few times a year for reference it's worth it because aside that it's a darned good neurology book, it's neurology specifically geared towards psychiatrists. All of us will sooner or later, at least a few times a year, encounter patients with a comorbid neurological disorder or a disorder where we can't tell if it's psychiatric vs. neurological. This book helps.
