Wonderful Guide

Trying to study for recertification in geriatric psychiatry, I got this book. It contains the best teaching on the subject I've ever experienced. Wish I'd had it when I was starting out.

REVIEW NEUROLOGY FOR THE PSYCHIATRY BOARD PT 1`

If you read this book cover-to-cover (do-able) and answer the sample questions, you will know the answers to 90%++ neurology questions on Part 1 of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Exam!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing...I love It

I am a psychiatry resident and this book was recommended to me by my program director, (a neuropsychiatrist). Buying this book was one of the best decisions I made. Its great. Extremely readable, with good pictures. Clear, concise with great questions at the end of the chapters and at the end of the book. I highly recommend this for anyone training in psych who needs to review their neurology.

Psychiatry Board

I HIGHLY recommend this book. It will solidify and clarify your knowledge of Neurology. If your are about to take your Board in Psychiatry you should buy this book. I also recommend this book to residents in neurology or psychiatry.

Board Review

Trained in psychoanalysis, I was ill-prepared for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. This book told me what I had to know not only to pass the Board (with a very high grade), but a deeper appreciation of the interface of neurology and psychiatry. The book has wonderful illustrations and great questions-and-answers. Also, the text is easy to read and, more important, recall.
