Reviews

<p> FOCUS Psychiatry Review is a comprehensive set of questions that covers all main topics of psychiatric practice. It is an excellent set of practice questions for the now routine ABPN recertification test that psychiatrists are required to take. In addition to its brief but informative explanation of the best answer to each question, it also provides a good list of additional resources for further study. Every question has current references, from the last 10-15 years, for review and some are quite extensive. For instance, question 48 about chronic severe major depression cites 8 published articles for further review that include both national and international literature. This is a through review that will be an excellent resource for current information to both established and newly trained psychiatrists. -- Michele T. Pato, M.D., Associate Dean of Academic Scholarship and Professor of Psychiatry, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California; Research Professor, Washington, D.C. Veterans Hospital; and Professor, SUNY Upstate.

<p> Drs. Hales and Rapaport and their Editorial Board have once again shown FOCUS to be the premier lifelong learning instrument in psychiatry. With questions from genetics to dealing with interpreters in the clinical setting, this review will help us all dig deeper for the science and the subtleties that make our profession unique and great. -- Richard K. Harding, M.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science, University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Columbia, South Carolina
