Summary

Open to any page and read just a small passage and you will learn or be refreshed with a tangible amount of psychiatric knowledge without having to linger on the rest of the book. Comprehensive Psychiatry Review is a book you can benefit from whether you have a few hours to read several chapters or a few minutes to read just a few lines.

This book is designed for the busy mental health professionals who have the need and desire to be updated in medical knowledge, but often not the time for vigorous and uninterrupted study. This book provides those enthusiastic learners an easy, quick, and efficient way of learning. This book should be particularly helpful for test preparation for the ABPN examinations and PRITE. It should also offer a distinct advantage for medical students who desire to score aggressively in the USMLE, and those who target a successful career in the field of psychiatry. This book may further provide a learning opportunity to benefit mental health clinicians who consistently strive for better patient care.

In 50 chapters this book fosters a collection of clinically relevant and important information drawn from major textbooks and other authoritative sources. Each chapter starts with an introductory text that provides a brief review of the current understanding of the topic, followed by the main bullet-style text. The information is clustered in “bite-size” portions to facilitate immediate absorption. Each item is designed to be read independent of the rest of the book. The items are alphabetically listed and can be found and refound easily.
