As an excellent source of learning for prescribers specializing in psychiatry, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and pharmacists, this new edition features approximately 150 questions, divided into ten core areas of psychiatry, helping you to identify areas in which you need further study. The majority of questions are new or updated in their explanations and referencing. Each question is followed by an explanation of the answer and a list of references. After completing the questions you will be better able to: diagnose patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms using accepted diagnostic standards and practices; implement evidence-based psychiatric treatment strategies aligned with the patient's recovery goals; integrate recent advances in diagnostic and treatment strategies into clinical practice according to best practice guidelines. This collection has been approved by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as part of a lifelong learning and self-assessment program and as a component of maintenance of certification.
