Case Files Psychiatry, 6e

Sixty high-yield psychiatry cases helps students sharpen their diagnostic and problem-solving skills
The Case Files series is an award-winning learning system proven to improve shelf-exam scores and clerkship performance. Unlike other study materials on the market, this series helps students learn in the context of real patients instead of simply memorizing.

Case Files: Psychiatry presents realistic clinical scenarios to enhance and hone your clinical decision-making skills. Sixty high-yield cases illustrate essential concepts in psychiatric care. Each case begins with a vignette accompanied by relevant open-ended questions designed to teach diagnostic or therapeutic approaches relevant to psychiatry. The answers that follow emphasize mechanisms and underlying principles. This sixth edition features a new format with bulleted summaries, shorter paragraphs, and clearer headings.

-Realistic cases are accompanied by questions that encourage you to think through DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and therapeutic options.

-Real-life psychiatry cases with high-yield discussions aligned to clerkship guidelines.

-USMLE-style review questions and clinical pearls accompany each case
