Product Description: The Clinical Study Guide for the Oral Boards in Psychiatry, Second Edition is exactly what every candidate needs to ease pre-exam anxiety and ensure success on this crucial examination. The second 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 all in a concise study guide that offers practical guidance on how to succeed when taking this rigorous examination. This new edition retains its predecessor's easy-to-use 10-chapter format and breakthrough perspective, asserting that the exam tests your proficiency in formulating a differential diagnosis, not in identifying a single accurate diagnosis. The examiners are judging your reasoning skills and your ability to recognize, during a short patient interview, that many diagnoses are possible. But knowledge alone isn't enough; you'll also need to demonstrate insight by showing empathy for the patient and by developing a collegial relationship with the examiners. Including algorithms for "middle-of-the-road" treatment protocols, this compact volume proves once again that it is, quite simply, the definitive study guide for all oral board examination candidates.
