Overview

Study Guide to Clinical Psychiatry is made up of questions divided into individual quizzes of 5-10 questions each that correspond to chapters in The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Clinical Psychiatry, Fifth Edition . Questions are followed by an Answer Guide that references relevant text (including the page number) in the Textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct.The Study Guide's companion, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychiatry, Fifth Edition has been meticulously revised to maintain its preeminence as an accessible and authoritative educational reference and clinical compendium. More than 100 contributors summarize the latest developments in psychiatry, with new chapters on cellular and molecular biology; neuroanatomy; human sexuality and sexual dysfunctions; nonpharmacological somatic treatments; supportive psychotherapy; combined psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy; treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender patients; and assessment of dangerousness. Each chapter ends with 5-10 key points, 5-10 recommended readings, and helpful Web sites for clinicians, patients, and family members.

Reviews

I am impressed with the content and selection of questions. While not particularly easy, the questions seem fair and appear to address many of the pertinent points in the chapters. The answers are understandable, and despite their brevity, complete, allowing readers to further research the information with timely references. - Doody Enterprises, July, 2008
