Synopsis

This review book contains 1,200 multiple-choice questions modeled on the types of questions seen in Part 1 of the board certification exam in adult psychiatry. The questions are accompanied by answers and explanations for why one answer is correct and the others are incorrect.

Questions are divided into 17 specialty categories—basic psychopathology, schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, geriatric psychiatry, child psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, substance misuse, eating disorders and sexual disorders, mental retardation, sleep disorders, personality disorders, psychopharmacology, psychotherapies, psychology, and neurology. An additional chapter covers miscellaneous topics. All information has been thoroughly reviewed by experienced psychiatrists.

About this title

Review:

Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Volume 1, Issue 68 -- "This Q&A book is an excellent additional resource for the psychiatry boards. Two attributes set this book apart: the questions are grouped by topic, and there's a comprehensive index. The grouping by topic makes it easier to find your strengths and weaknesses, and the index helps you find questions you may want to check again. This offering has a good mix of questions relevant to the boards."

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 12, Issue 11 -- "This book, written by four physicians and psychologists from Philadelphia and Cleveland, contains approximately 1200 questions about psychiatry and neurology with detailed answers and explanations, making it one of the few books exclusively targeted at those preparing for Psychiatry Boards, although, according to the authors, it will also be helpful for psychiatry residents and psychiatrists preparing for various examinations. This comprehensive review contains multiple-choice questions each with detailed answers and explanations that will help the candidate to prepare for the examinations and also for daily praxis, and thus, represents a perfect supplement to other psychiatry and neurology resources. Again, special emphasis has been placed on psychopharmacology and neurology, two areas that are covered significantly on the boards. The book will certainly be of value not only for candiates appearing for the Board examinations, but also for psychiatric residents and practising psychiatrists and neurologists."--European Journal of Neurology
