Product Description
Psychiatry for the Boards, Second Edition is the most effective test preparation tool for standard clinical psychiatry exams, including the PRITE, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology written exam, recertification exams, and psychiatry questions on the USMLE Steps 2 and 3. The book presents high-yield information and mnemonics in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format. Appendices contain 100 sample Board-type questions and practical exam preparation tips. Completely updated, with nearly half the chapters rewritten, this edition is DSM-IV-TR compatible and includes new developments in psychopharmacology, neuroscience, and technology. Six new chapters cover human development; ECT, VNS, and DBS; seizure disorders; localized impairment--strokes, brain injuries, and brain tumors; peripheral nerve and muscle disorders; and cranial nerve symptoms and disorders.

 Not comprehensive, but effective November 20, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book reminded me of the BRS series we used in med school; certainly not comprehensive, but definitely helpful. I used it as a framework, and then filled in more details as I studied, so I had just one book to read over (and over and over) as the date neared. I took the test 2 days ago, and there were definitely topics covered in this book that were on the test, but more that weren't. It isn't meant to be a complete review, but it is really helpful, and I used it like I did BRS and First Aid for Step 1; add to it as you go, and you will have a consolidated, easy to review last minute guide in the week before the test. The only part I really didn't like was the question section at the end; the answers should be seperate, so you can test your knowledge.
 Really great book and easy reading. When shall we get a new edition? July 2, 2005

I really liked this one. Many creative mnemonics. Well organized. I hope Cai and Wang will provide an updated version soon.
Valuable tool for the boards and PRITE December 10, 2004

This is not a comprehensive review book, but a brief, high-yield review guide that focuses on the tricky topics they like to test on the PRITE and Part I of the psychiatry boards. The neuro section is also very useful. The material in the book seems to be based on old PRITE questions, but you can use the topics they cover to review other similar material for these topics in other sources. The questions are useful and appropriate as well, with thorough explanations. Again, the book is brief and not comprehensive, but is a valuable study tool. Incidentally, I was surprised after taking Part I of the Boards how truly similar to the PRITE it was.
Practically useful for Part I! May 14, 2004

Still a great book to refresh my knowledge February 22, 2004

This book helped me pass the board. Now that it sits on my bookshelf, still refreshing my knowledge periodically. I really liked the format and the style of clearlly spelling out complicated concepts. True, it is not a comprehensive textbook, but it is really all that a busy clinician needs.
