Please evaluate the book, Give and Take: A Roadmap to Understanding a Psychiatrist. It is written by a psychiatrist to prepare prospective patients or family members for diagnostic evaluation and treatment. It introduces them to what the psychiatrist needs to learn from them in order to arrive at a working clinical impression in order to develop a treatment plan, and attempts to place context around the profession and common mythologies. The author also punctuates this information with personal and professional reflections.

Psychiatry in Techno Colors is a memoir from a psychiatrist who trained during the transition from psychoanalytically dominated field to one that was more medical. It is humorus and informative using clinical vignettes and personal stories to educate.
