Answers:

Kaplan & Sadock's Comprehensive Guide to Psychiatry, 8th edition is the most inclusive review you'll find-it costs about $300 to purchase. Here's a link to a site where it is apparently available online but the price is not made clear unless you register:

The Synopsis of Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry is less expensive and standard reading for most MSW degrees and others. The Synopsis lists for about $99 and there are used ones available for much less at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/kaplan-sadocks-syn...
The above link also references the DSM IV which is the diagnostic "Bible" for mental disorders, but the majority of the criteria text is available here for free:
http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disord...

Those are really the standard texts with the most authority available and I recommend both. Kaplan & Sadock's text has been around for years and is continuously updated.
Happy Reading!
