I bought the PDA version of this book (I’m so grateful to fit it into my pocket, by the side of with my other 5 pda texts). This book is incredible, it not only engages the learner in active critical thought(as different to passive reading), it gives a very thorough presentation of each of the 60 topics it covers, with pearls and fine points to differentiate the subtle aspects of history, presentation, etc. for correlated diagnoses. This book pulls the learner into it, 1 case at a time, until you nearly feel as though you interacted with a patient. I like this style, and the depth of in rank.
Read the first 2 chapters on clinical thought style, and the clinical mindset algorythm. Incredible.

When preparing for the vignette part of oral psychiatry boards, I found this book very helpful for quick review and resolution template creation. It is very accessibly written and the lack of simple-to-read study materials for the vignette part of the exam makes it a very helpful adjunct and is a nice “restful” prep when compared to the cut-and-dry DSM-IV memorization. One problem many encounter is “freezing up” during the impersonal, time-limited vignette exam – making it trying to “cough up” all the necessary diagnostic and treatment possibilities within allotted time. The focus on less-is-more in this book allowed me to read it several times and I was able to resolution many of similar vignette-correlated questions on what felt like an auto-pilot. Keep in mind that ABPN oral tests “bread-and-butter” of psychiatry, meaning that it is unlikely that a vignette is going to focus on controversial or arcane areas of the field (unlike SHELF, PRITE or written boards, where anything goes). Observably, it is very vital to do the vignettes listed on ABPN site and keep your differential as wide as possible. Can’t give it 5 stars because of factual errors mentioned by other reviewers.

These cases are a excellent representation of many of the diagnoses in the DSM-IV, and it was very helpful to help cement the concepts of psychiatry. The questions at the end of each chapter were excellent for testing comprehension.
