Good book for 3rd year Psychiatry clerkship:
This book is a quick and easy read covering all the essential topics you will encounter during a third year medical school psychiatry clerkship. I carried this book with me under the notes on my clipboard as it contains the DSM IV criteria for psych illnesses as well as brief additional clinical/educational pearls. This is a perfect book for those who like to know the essentials in an easy to read format. I would emphasize that it is an easy read and high yield for both exams and clinical encounters. The book can easily be read in 2 days (and you will retain a lot too). However, because of its concise style, some topics are not covered.

Awesome:
(Read it 3x) the week before exam and did very well.
