Department of Psychiatry Residency

Required/Recommended Textbook Listing

We all look forward to the excitement of the upcoming academic year. To make the seminars maximally productive and
interactive, it is expected that residents will have reviewed the information for each lecture in advance. Therefore in
advance of the presentations, for example, on Affective Disorders and their treatment, you will be expected to review
the sections of your chosen textbook, the DSM-IV-TR, APA treatment Guidelines, think about the issues, and come with
informed questions on the topics. We believe this expectation will better prepare you for your responsibilities for life-
long, self-directed learning and study. If specific faculty have specific or required additional readings, these will be
distributed in advance of the presentation, whenever possible.

The following guide will hopefully be helpful in your approach to developing a reference library for your training.
