Publisher's Synopsis
MCQs are still widely used to assess medical students' knowledge. They are also very useful for self-assessment, allowing rapid movement through wide areas of knowledge.
'MCQs in Psychiatry' provides 124 carefully worded multi-stem questions that not only test factual knowledge, but are also designed to ensure the application of knowledge by putting it into context. All answers are followed by clear explanations that emphasise the importance of turning theory into practice. There are no trick questions here; this is a book about the practice of psychiatry rather than exam technique.
Conceived as a companion to 'The Textbook of Psychiatry' by Rees, Lipsedge and Ball, 'MCQs in Psychiatry' also stands alone as a comprehensive self-assessment tool, and goes beyond the scope of the Textbook in covering important aspects of clinical practice.
