4.0 out of 5 stars Neurology for the Psychiatry Specialty Board Review (Brunner, February 12, 2000

By	Mathilde Weems (Stanford, CA) - See all my reviews

Well, duh. My understanding from the title was that it was targeted for the PSYCHIATRY board. I found this book much easier to use than the touted Kaplan Neurology for Psychiatrisrts review book. I used this book to practice questions and scored 80% on my boards. worked for me. However, that being said, the neuro questions on the test were much harder than those in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and too simplistic, November 20, 2005

By	Reb (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NEUR FOR PSYCH SPEC BD SEE 2ND ED PB (Brunner/Mazel Continuing Education in Psychiatry Series, No 2) (Paperback)

I liked the format of the book, and the explanations of the answers were thorough. It is outdated, especially regarding medications. Also, I wish I had studied more neurology; it was a lot harder than the psych stuff on the board (which I took 2 days ago), and more detailed than I thought it would be. I would have used more neuro resources, and would have spent less time with this book. There was more neuroanatomy than I expected, and that is not well covered in this volume. I think this is good for practice questions and you'll learn, but you will do better if you use other sources as well. I wish I had.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good for the psych boards..., October 25, 2005

By	M. Fisher (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not a very good review for the neuro part of the boards, question format has many simple T/F, and "latest" second edition is from 1998... I'd recommend the Kaufman 5th ed. which was more comprehensive and had better questions.
