Book SynopsisDesigned for interviewers at all levels of experience, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam is the clinician's companion for using DSM-5-TR in diagnostic interviews. Both experienced clinicians and those still in training will benefit from the thoughtful, yet practical, fashion in which DSM-5 revisions are reviewed and incorporated into the 30-minute diagnostic interview. This guide is written for all levels of experience, since every clinician needs to master both DSM-5-TR criteria and how to conduct a fruitful diagnostic interview. The book: • Provides insight into the process of establishing a therapeutic alliance, which remains the goal of any psychiatric encounter, even one as brief as the diagnostic interview.• Offers an extensive set of resources to enhance understanding. These include a brief, easy-to-use summary of DSM-5-TR disorders; the Mental Status Examination and a psychiatric glossary; suggestions for mental health treatment planning; guidance for the ABPN Clinical Skills Evaluation; DSM-5-TR-related diagnostic tools and scales; and coverage of alternative diagnostic systems and rating scales.• Provides a sequential framework for generating a differential diagnosis, using a six-step approach, that will help clinicians develop their clinical decision-making skills and ensure that they consider the many and interrelated causes of mental disorders. Direct, practical, and informative, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam will enable readers to efficiently and effectively employ DSM-5 as part of a comprehensive diagnostic interview.Trade ReviewThis book guides those who use the DSM-5-TR, regardless of level of experience in the field. The book was designed to be utilized in conjunction with the DSM-5-TR for the diagnostic exam for beginner or experienced interviewers. The beginning of the book stresses the importance of a therapeutic alliance and the well-being of the people we meet as the reason for the diagnostic exam. The main focus of the book is to have a DSM-5-TR class with criteria and then provide example questions and follow-up questions that allow for open-ended questioning and to facilitate building a therapeutic alliance with patients. This could involve screening questions for a category and then follow-up questions for specific inclusion criteria. This book is well organized, informative, and was created for efficient use as a pocket guide. As the diagnostic interview is essential to the practice of psychiatrists, this book is a significant companion for those who utilize the DSM-5-TR for diagnosis. Readers will have more and varied questions to add to their interview index. This can be used as a quick reference to review criteria and questions in order to lead to an improved diagnostic exam for people experiencing mental distress. -- Andre Lars Lorenz, DO * Doody *Table of ContentsPreface Section I Introduction to the Diagnostic InterviewAlliance Building During a Diagnostic InterviewThe 30-Minute Diagnostic InterviewPersonalizing Diagnoses Through DimensionsKey Changes in DSM-5-TR Section II The DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Interview Section III A Brief Version of DSM-5-TRSix Questions to a Differential DiagnosisA Mental Status Examination: With Essential Psychiatric GlossaryMental Health Treatment PlanningThe American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Clinical Skills EvaluationSelected DSM-5-TR Assessment MeasuresDimensional Diagnosis of Personality DisordersAlternative Diagnostic Systems and Rating ScalesReferencesIndex

The book is edited and written by two of the authors behind the bestselling Cardiology in a Heartbeat and features several common design elements and features. It has quickly found favour with medical students and is consistently one of the bestselling medical student texts. The book is divided into body systems and then each section within the particular body system follows a consistent pattern: Definition Epidemiology Risk factors Differential diagnosis Aetiology Pathophysiology Clinical features Investigations Management Medicine in a Minute is a student-friendly, concise text that you will want close to hand throughout your studies. Trade ReviewGreat for finals! 'I love this book. Covers lots of common, important conditions that are easy to read when you have a spare minute.

It covers each body system comprehensively; outlining normal physiology and common pathologies and integrates this with clinical features and management stratgeies. It is complemented by useful medical images and examination tips and its layout makes it very easy to read. I particularly liked the emergencies section which covers common situations encountered by junior doctors in the hospital situation.' Amazon reviewer A great revision book for clinical year students and finals 'I have used various revision books and found this book to be very good overall. The layout is clear and easy to follow rather than packed with text. They have small boxes of key clinical pearls and I really like these! The information provided is accurate and up to date.

It provides a succinct evidence based summary for clinical scenarios and gives a great range to help cover the RCGP curriculum. The summary of the guidelines used is helpful to signpost trainees to the most up-to-date guidelines to help consolidate any learning. I would definitely recommend this as a resource to carry around whilst preparing for the CSA!" Amazon reviewer Great Book! "I recently sat my CSA and used this book. It is very well laid out with excellent consultation examples and guidance to practice with. It was especially good for group learning and the layout is very user friendly and allows you to revise independently using the example "management" section of the book. I would thoroughly recommend this as a CSA resource."

Book SynopsisThe structured oral examination (SOE) and viva are age-old integral components of examination pathways in the specialty training of intensive care medicine (ICM). The viva can present a complex interaction between the examiner and delegate, which can often be challenging even hostile! Organisation and structure are integral to success. This core text is tailored to provide a systematic structure covering a broad set of core topics that could legitimately be presented in an ICM exam. The style and discipline have been repeated throughout the answers to provide essential rehearsal as preparation for any viva-based exam. The book is presented as 7 sets of 6 viva examination cycles. This allows for timed practice sessions in the final few weeks leading up to the SOE and viva. The topics covered are pertinent for the British Fellowship of the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FFICM), the European Diploma of Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) exam, the Australia and New Zealand Fellowship of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (FCICM), the Indian Diploma in Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM), the American Board exams and any other viva-based intensive care medicine exams. This book is a critical companion in the final few weeks of preparation for ICM viva exams.
