Inhaltsangabe

Psychiatrists and residents are faced with the important -- but what may feel overwhelming -- task of refreshing their knowledge of the whole of psychiatric practice, typically while remaining engaged in full-time clinical activity. Psychiatrists will find the logical structure, substantive questions, and thorough explanations provided by the Study Guide for the Psychiatry Board Examination to be as reassuring as they are educational. Although readers are advised to consult a range of resources in preparation for the examination, this guide is indispensable. It is the first and only guide to reflect the revisions contained in DSM-5®, and it will ably assume a primary role in the study and review process.

The guide is designed for maximum usefulness, with specific features and attributes to support knowledge recall and successful examination performance. The authors are from a cross-section of accomplished students, fellows, and junior and senior faculty, all of whom have faced or will face the board examination and who understand its importance to the profession. Topics were determined by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Certification Examination in Psychiatry 2015 Content Blueprint. The approximately 400 questions were formulated from information extracted from widely available American Psychiatric Publishing textbooks and accurately reflect the accepted psychiatric knowledge base. Each multiple choice question is followed by an explanation of why the correct answer is correct and the others are incorrect, and every question and explanation is referenced, directing the reader to the primary material for more in-depth learning and study. The volume was designed as a study guide for both the initial psychiatry board examination and the recertification examination.

The process of working through the study guide will allow the reader to identify areas of strength and weakness, initiate further study, and test and retest knowledge, ultimately preparing for the examination's rigors. Only the Study Guide for the Psychiatry Board Examination offers support for the new, DSM-5® -- compatible examination, and that alone renders it essential.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Study Guide for the Psychiatry Board Examination is the first study guide that reflects the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders--DSM-5(R). Authors from the full career spectrum--medical students, fellows, and junior and senior faculty--collaborated in the development and refinement of this study guide, a monumental task undertaken and executed with professional seriousness and academic rigor. The selection of topics follows the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Certification Examination in Psychiatry 2015 Content Blueprint, thoroughly preparing and familiarizing readers with both the subject matter and test experience. Content for the approximately 400 questions contained in the study guide was culled from numerous, readily available American Psychiatric Publishing texts, and each multiple choice question is followed by explanations for both the correct and incorrect options, with the appropriate citations for further study.

Although not the only resource readers should consult when preparing for the test, the Study Guide for the Psychiatry Board Examination is surely the best, most up-to-date tool available, and psychiatrists taking either the initial certification or the 10-year recertification examination will find it invaluable.
