An up-to-date and concise book providing all the essential information required for a successful psychiatry rotation.
Written by two senior psychiatry professors, the book offers an exam-centered, reader-friendly style backed up with concise clinical guidance.The book covers diagnosis and management based upon the DSM-5 Criteria. For every psychiatric condition:
- the diagnostic pathway is provided with suggested phrasing for sensitive questions
- the relevant clinical features to look out for in the mental status examination are listed
- a concise definition and basic pathophysiology/etiology is outlined.
To aid your learning, self-assessment questions are provided at the end of each chapter. A chapter is dedicated to OSCE scenarios to help practicing with colleagues in preparation for exams. Board-style exam questions with detailed answers are also provided.
Printed with an attractive full color design, the book includes mnemonics, clinical photos, diagrams, OSCE tips, and key fact boxes. Clinical Psychiatry is exactly the type of book medical students, residents, and psychiatry trainees need to help develop a strong psychiatric understanding.
From reviews:
