The oral boards are a professional milestone that often feel like a millstone around the necks of intimidated candidates, as they survey the mountains of material they are expected to have mastered. "The Clinical Study Guide for the Oral Boards in Psychiatry" removes the burden of reviewing multiple texts and journals by compiling all the pertinent clinical information candidates must know to prepare for the exam into one concise, yet comprehensive guide. Everything that may be asked by the examiners is contained in this volume. Organized by class of disorder, the book takes the reader through the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria, clinical issues, etiology, prognosis, differential diagnosis and treatment for each type. It also provides indispensable insight into the clinical interview which is the core of the examination, emphasizing the importance of empathy, establishing rapport, and building trust with the patient. Finally, the author acknowledges and compensates for the limitations candidates may face due to the clinical setting in which they practice by focusing on the types of patients most likely to present for the oral boards. "The Clinical Study Guide for the Oral Boards in Psychiatry" has reached the fourth edition for good reason: It is the most user-friendly, comprehensive, and effective tool on the market.

Clinical Study Guide for the Oral Boards in Psychiatry PDF

i recently found out that i passed the psychiatry part ii oral board exam!!! i have to tell you that this book was absolutely an integral part of my studies. yes, you need to know effective interviewing skills but don't let anyone tell you that you do not need basic psychiatry knowledge for the oral boards. in fact, ALL the questions the examiners asked me had something to do with basic, theoretical pscyhiatry. this book is a MUST read for anyone preparing for the oral boards. it is complete, concise and manageable. the most notable aspect about this book is that all diagnoses are presented in a biopsychosocial context. also, all the latest treatments are discussed. well, for some advice...the test IS difficult, you WILL be anxious and you WILL feel like you have been hit by a brick by the time you leave the exam BUT if you know the basics, be kind and nice to BOTH the patient and the examiners and cover the core concepts(lethality and substance use), you should pass. i passed the first time.

Great overview of topics with enough detail in each to cover what may be reasonably asked during the oral boards in psychiatry. Currently using as a primer for the Canadian oral boards in psychiatry and supplementing with the Canadian practice guidelines.
Update: November 2010---I passed my oral boards!
