As one reviewer put it, theEssentialsvolume, designed to be a more accessible and portable version of the ?big book,? represents ?nothing less than the presentation of the neuroscientific basis of psychiatry.? One advantage of the resulting revision cycle is the opportunity to update more frequently, ensuring that each iteration reflects the cutting edge in research and practice.
