Nms Psychiatry Casebook (National Medical Series for Independent Study) (Paperback)

Psychiatric illness affects as much as 25% of the global population, and psychiatry and other mental-health specialties comprise one of LWW's largest professional markets. This is the third in a series of case-based review books and is directed to medical students taking their psychiatry clerkship or preparing for the USMLE Step 2 examination (the two existing titles are Surgery and Medicine). These texts are intended to help students apply knowledge acquired in didactic settings (classroom, rounds, etc.) in the clinical environment. The primary goal is to build effective diagnostic skills that lead to effective mental health care. The text is organized by disorder, each of which begins with a case that is followed by a guided discussion.
