OverviewFOCUS Patient Management Exercises in Psychiatry is a practical and accessible self-study workbook designed for practicing psychiatrists who want to improve their knowledge of clinical psychiatry and patient care. Physicians who complete the exercises in this workbook can improve their clinical decision making, advance their communication and diagnostic abilities, evaluate their knowledge and clinical skills, learn leading-edge clinical information, and most importantly, improve patient care. The dynamic patient management exercises included here are derived from material in FOCUS The Journal of Lifelong Learning in Psychiatry. Designed to test clinical considerations beyond the typical multiple-choice testing approach these exercises describe diagnostic and therapeutic questions in a clinical narrative that follows a patient through time. Each vignette closely resembles an actual patient presentation, including constellations of symptoms and introduction of new and critical information that was unexpected by the physician. These clinical vignettes are intended to refine diagnostic and communication skills and sharpen practitioners' clinical decision making. The sixteen clinical vignettes in this workbook cover the following topics: Anxiety Disorders Bipolar Disorder Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Delirium Gender, Race, and Culture Major Depressive Disorder Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Panic Disorder Personality Disorders Psychopharmacology Psychotherapy Schizophrenia Sleep, Sex, and Eating Disorders Substance Abuse This book is meant to be used in a program of continuous professional development. It assists psychiatrists in assessing their own processes of evaluation, diagnosis, and clinical management. These exercises may also be useful in preparing for board-type examinations, promote discussion and learning for individuals of various levels of experience, ranging from seasoned clinicians to psychiatric residents.
