Clinical Psychiatry provides all the essential information required for a successful psychiatry rotation.

For every psychiatric condition:

• the diagnostic pathway is provided with suggested phrasing for sensitive questions
• the relevant clinical features to look out for in the mental status examination are listed
• a concise definition and basic pathophysiology/etiology is outlined.

To test your understanding, self-assessment questions are provided at the end of each chapter, alongside a full chapter of Board-style exam questions (with detailed answers) at the end of the book. To help you prepare for your OSCE exams an entire chapter is dedicated to common OSCEs scenarios, which you can work through on your own or in a group.
With its bullet point format, extensive use of figures and tables and board-type questions, Clinical Psychiatry is the perfect companion for your psychiatry clerkship and shelf exams as well as the USMLE Step 2 and 3.

Printed with an attractive full color design, the book includes mnemonics, clinical photos, diagrams, OSCE tips, and key fact boxes. It is exactly the type of book medical students, residents, and psychiatry trainees need to help develop a strong psychiatric understanding.
