Study Guide to Consultation-liaison Psychiatry: A Companion to the American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine and Consultation-liaison Psychiatry

Description

Study Guide to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is a question-and-answer companion that allows you to evaluate your mastery of the subject matter as you progress through The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Third Edition. The Study Guide is made up of approximately 390 questions divided into 39 individual quizzes with an average of 10 questions each that correspond to chapters in the textbook. Questions are followed by an answer guide that references relevant text (including page numbers) in the textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct. The Study Guide's companion, The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Third Edition, has been thoroughly updated to reflect the rapidly expanding evidence base in the field. This textbook addresses general principles in evaluation and management (including legal and ethical issues); psychiatric symptoms and disorders in the medically ill; psychological and social aspects of diseases affecting the various organ systems; and psychiatric interventions for this patient population. Review: Just OK for board prep, but you will buy it because there aren't many other options. - I found the questions too specific to the studies cited in the textbook, which is not reflective of how the exam turned out. The answer key is simply a copy and paste of the textbook. The real exam is broader and more case based. It felt like the authors rushed to get it finished. ACLP does a terrible job at releasing prep material so you'll probably end up buying this guide.
