Psychiatry Board Review 1st Edition (2017) (PDF) by Rajesh Tampi

Description

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.

Dr. Tampi is a Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and the Vice Chairman for Education and Faculty Development, Residency Program Director and the Chief of Geriatric Psychiatry at MetroHealth, Cleveland, Ohio. Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.

User’s Reviews

I would not recommend this to be you only board review book. It does have good questions, and many are accurate in explanations and do give the correct information, but the editing is poor. At least half a dozen questions have the answers run together or missing a choice (4 instead of 5 choices, or have a blank on a letter choice, or skip a letter choice even) and so far I have found at least a dozen that they select the flat wrong answer. The explanation is correct, and they have the right choice in the answers, but put wrong letter as the answer. This is only my second book I’ve dug into for review, so after I’m done with more books, I’m sure I can give you a better alternative. For now, be cautious of this book.

This book contains an excellent collection of questions. The explanations are easy to understand and accurate.
