The third edition of this unique and proven reference incorporates the updated diagnoses reflected in DSM-IV-TR, presenting pertinent clinical information regarding the assessment and treatment of patients you're most likely to encounter during the oral boards in psychiatry& mdash;all in a concise study guide that offers practical guidance on how to succeed on this rigorous examination. But you won't pass this exam on knowledge alone, as this author explains. You'll also need to demonstrate insight, included in the following four key success factors, by Understanding that the exam measures their clinical, not theoretical, knowledge of psychiatry. Preparing thoroughly (e.g., if you mention a specific medication, be ready to discuss its indications, dosage range, and therapeutic and side effects).

If you want to read just one book, read this one to beat the Oral boards. (Although it is too detailed for Part-II, and therefore excellent for Part I as well). For Part II don't focus on small details, rather pick up the clinical and practical points. Rating: - Read it cover to cover, it helpedThis was a good study guide, as it covered basic material that I had already forgotten from step 1, and had some tie-ins to how this material could be asked during the boards. It took about 4 weeks to get through the book, reading a little bit every day. I would use it again and recommend it. It did not, however, cover the information asked during my oral exam at the San Diego Naval Medical Center, which was, "How would you take care of this patient on a submarine?" I kid you not, I was really asked ... Read More Rating: - Psychiatry Oral BoardsMore comprehensive than the previous edition. Required reading for anyone taking the psychiatry oral boards.
