This book is for prescribers specializing in psychiatry, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists and pharmacists. Featuring one hundred and fifty new and updated case-based questions, divided into ten core areas of psychiatry, this collection will help you identify areas in which you need further study.

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 patients 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.
