Description
A survey of over 900 trainees at the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) in the United Kingdom showed that over three-quarters of psychiatry trainees desired some knowledge and training in the field of neuropsychiatry. Recent years have given rise to a substantial global focus on integrating neurosciences and neuropsychiatry in psychiatric training. Neuropsychiatry forms an important part of the psychiatric curriculum and is examined in theory and in clinical exams. Similarly, neuropsychiatry is also of interest to neurology trainees, and it is increasingly recognised that all neurology trainees should have some knowledge and experience in neuropsychiatry. Despite this growing interest, there is a dearth of neuropsychiatry textbooks specifically geared towards trainees and other clinicians who are not specialist in the field.
Reviews
Review “The text certainly delivers on its promise of concise information covering a wide range of topics. … This is an excellent resource for those unversed in the discipline of pain management, particularly medical students or junior residents. … it does serve as a superb introduction with relevant information for those new to the topic.” (Mehdi Sefidgar, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Journal canadien d’anesthésie, Vol. 62, July, 2015)”This is a quick review of pain topics frequently found on examinations. Each topic is covered in one to two pages and the entire book can be reviewed in one sitting right before an examination. … The primary audience is readers sitting for a pain examination but the book will also be of use to physicians at all levels of training and to physicians who see patients with chronic pain conditions. The author is an experienced clinician and examiner.” (Tariq M. Malik, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2014)
