"Tareen's Understanding Psychiatry is a superb textbook on psychiatry. Its strengths lie in that it is very well-written, and clear and covers all the important areas of psychiatry. The contents are up-to-date and, importantly, in addition to a theoretical discussion, there is much clinical wisdom and experience distilled in the pages. The book is intended for medical students and trainee psychiatrists alike since both groups would benefit from this book; moreover, experienced psychiatrists and allied clinicians would also find this book useful for reference and review."Dr. Matthew Broome
