Psychiatry Board Review

by Rajesh Tampi (Editor), Kristina Zdanys (Editor), Mark Oldham (Editor)

Overview

The field of psychiatry is evolving rapidly specifically in the areas of classification of many psychiatric disorders, psychopharmacology and psychotherapeutics. The new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-5 which was introduced in 2013 forms the basis of the new classification system in psychiatry. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology is also in the process of phasing in DSM-5 criteria to the board examination, such that by 2017 the examination material will exclusively reflect the new manual. As psychiatric trainees and psychiatrists prepare for their certification and recertification examinations using the new classification system, a new board review textbook is imperative to address these changes in order to prepare them for the certification examinations as well as for their clinical practice. To help with this process we have compiled a list of 1000 questions and answers in psychiatry and neurology using the most current information available in the field and using the DSM 5 classification system. This book has been specifically written for the busy professional who does not have the time to access numerous resources necessary to prepare for professional examinations.

Editorial Reviews

Margret and her older sister Libby have been traveling for years, ever since their parents died. Now it is 1875, and they walk for days at a time and do chores in people's homes or farms to earn their keep until Libby decides it is time to move on. Margret never wants to leave the families they live with, and is already dreading the day Libby will make them move from their current location, Mrs. Fredriksen's sod house. They have made their way from St. Louis to Littleton, Colorado, and Margret is realizing she is old enough to have a say in Libby's decision to move. Margret loves living with Mrs. Fredriksen, and cherishes the trust and respect she gives to Libby and to her. When a tornado tears through the rural community, Margret discovers a wounded horse. She nurses the horse back to health, and makes a new friend named Cory who loves riding horses as much as she does. As Margret establishes a new life at Mrs. Fredriksen's, Libby becomes anxious to leave. This is a story about siblings; as Margret opens herself up to this new life, Libby must learn to let go of her old life. There are some farm and equestrian terms that may be unfamiliar to some readers. Reviewer: Renee Farrah
