The American Psychiatric Publishing Board Review Guide for Psychiatry (Concise Guides)

It is a daunting task to distill a psychiatrist s education and training into a single, comprehensive resource, but that is precisely what The American Psychiatric Publishing Board Review Guide for Psychiatry does to thoroughly prepare candidates taking the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Examination in Psychiatry. The book s organization mirrors both clinical practice and the examination itself, with a review of basic sciences, followed by chapters on diagnostic methods, then on to the full spectrum of psychiatric disorders, treatment options, and special issues in assessment. This approach allows readers to structure their study and review efficiently, as well as preparing them for the actual exam-taking experience. Coverage is uniformly up-to-date, reflecting the most current editions of The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, and their Essentials editions. However, unlike these foundational texts, the guide offers the most important concepts in a concise, condensed, and focused method meant to elicit and consolidate prior learning. Finally, the book includes two full practice examinations, totaling more than 400 questions, and cooresponding answer guides to acclimate the reader to the testing process and allow for self-assessment. Supremely useful and absolutely authoritative, The American Psychiatric Publishing Board Review Guide for Psychiatry provides an indispensable tool for those who aspire to board certification in psychiatry.
