Study Guide to Introductory Psychiatry

Its accessibility, practicality, and comprehensiveness have long made the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, Seventh Edition, an essential resource for students of psychiatry. Learners will find all of those same qualities in this companion study guide. With a format that replicates what medical students and psychiatric residents might encounter in specialty certification exams, this guide is organized along the lines of DSM-5(R) and includes detailed questions on diagnosis, interviewing and assessment, all DSM-5(R) disorders, up-to-date treatment information, and more.

Each multiple-choice question is linked to specific pages in the Textbook for ease of reference and includes plausible distractors. The answer guide includes explanations not only of the correct responses but also of why the other options are incorrect.

Beyond mere rote memorization, the Study Guide to Introductory Psychiatry is designed to help learners truly assimilate and deeply encode the information in the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, Seventh Edition, so that they can recall it when it matters most--when speaking with the patients they treat.
