Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Psychiatry for the Boards, Second Edition is the most effective test preparation tool for standard clinical psychiatry exams, including the PRITE, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology written exam, recertification exams, and psychiatry questions on the USMLE Steps 2 and 3. The book presents high-yield information and mnemonics in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format. Appendices contain 100 sample Board-type questions and practical exam preparation tips. Completely updated, with nearly half the chapters rewritten, this edition is DSM-IV-TR compatible and includes new developments in psychopharmacology, neuroscience, and technology. Six new chapters cover human development; ECT, VNS, and DBS; seizure disorders; localized impairment--strokes, brain injuries, and brain tumors; peripheral nerve and muscle disorders; and cranial nerve symptoms and disorders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommended!, October 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Psychiatry for the Boards (Paperback)
I am in the process of studying for Part I of the Psychiatry Boards and bought this book. I was particularly interested in boning up on Neurology. Turns out that the biggest chapter of this book (Chapter 14) is neurology. It also includes an appropriately measured section on each topic in Psychiatry. All of the questions have been appropriately challenging, the answers are appropriately explanatory, and overall the book has been very helpful in assessing my own areas of strength and weakness, and provided a very good spectrum of knowledge. I strongly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not comprehensive, but effective, November 19, 2005
By Reb (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychiatry for the Boards (Paperback)
This book reminded me of the BRS series we used in med school; certainly not comprehensive, but definitely helpful. I used it as a framework, and then filled in more details as I studied, so I had just one book to read over (and over and over) as the date neared. I took the test 2 days ago, and there were definitely topics covered in this book that were on the test, but more that weren't. It isn't meant to be a complete review, but it is really helpful, and I used it like I did BRS and First Aid for Step 1; add to it as you go, and you will have a consolidated, easy to review last minute guide in the week before the test. The only part I really didn't like was the question section at the end; the answers should be seperate, so you can test your knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a great book to refresh my knowledge, February 22, 2004
By John Moucus (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psychiatry for the Boards (Paperback)
This book helped me pass the board. Now that it sits on my bookshelf, still refreshing my knowledge periodically. I really liked the format and the style of clearlly spelling out complicated concepts. True, it is not a comprehensive textbook, but it is really all that a busy clinician needs.
