Roy then came by with his newspapers, and, putting them down on a step, seized her round the waist and whirled her off among the little children.

I read this for entertainment purposes but by the end I was diagnosing cases correctly. Interesting and often tragic.

It's a good book to study for the big bad test. After you're familiar with the DSM IV TR and even then you might miss something. These are complex cases.
