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

Book SynopsisOxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery, second edition, teaches students a hypothesis-driven, logical step-by-step approach to diagnosis when faced with each of 29 common patient presentations. This approach mirrors that used by successful clinicians on the wards, challenging students with questions at each stage of a case (history-taking, examination, investigation, management).Trade ReviewInstead of throwing you in the deep end filled with anxiety, as you would feel on a ward with an actual patient, Oxford Cases gives you mnemonics and walks you through all of the red flags you should be looking out for. * MedSaint, University of St Andrews *Every year, close to exams, students have no idea what to use as studying materials and scramble around for resources. The Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery might just come in handy. . . The answers are well presented with references to diagnostic guidelines, and also come with easily digestible mnemonics. * Liting Tong, Northwing Magazine - Sheffield University Medical Students' Magazine *Like the Matrix films, when I study medicine I wish that I could download medical knowledge into my memory. Until medical science invents such a device or google becomes implanted into our occipital lobes, I thoroughly recommend the Oxford Cases in Medicine and Surgery. * Tom Rock, BMA Medical Student Representative, University of Bristol; West of England Medical Journal *This is an outstanding teaching tool. The cases provoke much thought and there is a clear explanation of the "correct" answers and why other answers are not as correct. * Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, USA), Doody's Notes *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisHIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE 2017 BMA BOOK AWARDS! Here's what the judges said: "The book is thorough and well written. It has many good questions and challenging scenarios and will allow candidates to prepare thoroughly for their interview. This is a useful book with plenty of scenarios for medical school applicants to practise and prepare. I am not aware of any other books in this subject area that describe potential interview questions to such depth. The quality of the questions as well as the answers and the variety is satisfying to see." Competition ratios for medical school are approximately 10:1. Faced with the increasing numbers of well-qualified applicants, the medical school interview has become a vital part of the application process. Put simply, if you want to get into medical school, you will need to do well in your medical school interview. As well as the more traditional use of ‘across the table’ interview questions, many medical schools are now using ‘Multiple Mini Interviews’ as a core part of their recruitment process. How to Prepare for Medical School Interviews is the largest collection of both types of interview questions available. It contains over 200 practice questions with full answers, as well as detailed practical advice to help you approach your interviews with confidence.

Over 100 mind maps: The book features over 100 easy to follow, full colour mind maps of clinically relevant medical conditions using a systems-based structure: Cardiology Respiratory Gastroenterology Renal Endocrinology Neurology Rheumatology Infectious diseases The mind maps give you quick access to key information in a visually appealing way. Where appropriate the mind map is followed by additional reference information to remind you about, for example, risk assessment tools, staging criteria, and treatment algorithms. Consistent structure: All mind maps are presented consistently and cover: Definition Pathophysiology Causes and Risk factors Clinical features: signs and symptoms Epidemiology Investigations: blood tests and imaging Management: lifestyle, pharmacological and surgical Complications Other key features: Images are provided throughout the book to help illustrate key signs. Mnemonics are used throughout to aid learning. Information is up-to-date and based around the latest guidelines. All topics are clinically relevant or likely to appear in medical school examinations. Mind Maps for Medicine is a key medical textbook for all medical students but particularly those who consider themselves visual learners.Trade ReviewThe Visual Learners' Dream 'Concise yet comprehensive, I cannot recommend this enough to my fellow efficiency and mind map loving medics. This book covers most conditions we are likely to encounter though medical school, with Definition, Pathophysiology, Causes, Clinical features, Investigations, Management, and Complications; all portrayed in - as the name suggests - Mind Maps! Organised into systems and full with great mnemonics. Mind Maps always feature in my revision and this book creates the perfect mark scheme to my revision maps. As mind maps are such personal things this book also encourages personalisation with lots of 'Notes' spaces as well as being printed on paper I can actually write on! ' Amazon reviewer Great book for med students in their clinical years! 'A very useful book to cover the main topics in each specialty! Surprisingly, for a mind map book, it has a lot of detail on the conditions, management and clinical features.' Amazon reviewer Ideal for revision 'Helpful book for all levels. Helpful for medical school exams and as a quick reference guide. Would recommend!' Amazon reviewer Fantastic book for medical finals 'Amazing colourful mind maps in just the right amount of detail. I could use this to revise from directly or simply as a reference. Also generous amount of mnemonics which I’m a huge fan of. I wish there were other texts just like this which cover other medical specialties!' Amazon reviewer Amazing book 'Fantastic and innovative book for those doing medical finals. This book covers most of the general medical topics in very well presented mind maps (in very good detail). Highly recommend to those who are visual learners like myself!' Amazon reviewer Great mind maps 'This book is excellent. The mind maps have a really good level of detail for each condition, so that you get a very comprehensive overview without being an overwhelming amount of information. They cover everything from pathophysiology throughout to management, and sometimes contain extra detail on the different pharmacological approaches when relevant. I can tell this will be extremely useful when it comes to revising these conditions, as it gives you all the key information you need, and allows you to quickly recall the essentials about a condition. It looks great too, and is very clearly laid out and colour coded to make it easy to understand. Overall, this is an extremely good revision tool for medical students, I'd recommend to anyone!' Amazon reviewer Very easy to grasp and easy on the eyes 'I have found this guide extremely useful and informative. It has helped me to understand basic concepts but also help me link key concepts and trends. I have always drawn my own mind maps but this has saved me a lot of time and effort which I can dedicate back to pure studying. Would very highly recommend this.' Amazon reviewer Unique, innovative and an essential for every student and medic ‘Absolutely fantastic book! Perfect for the visual learners but also learners like myself who did not think they were visual learners but were taken aback by the clarity of presentations. Some visual mind maps can lack detail but this book covers the perfect amount of detail for medical students and also junior doctors alike. I am a GP trainee and found this a very useful summary but also the medical students I teach loved it and found it perfect for clinical medicine. Genuinely a steal at this price and could not recommend more!' Amazon reviewer Great ‘I have not seen a neater book in my life ! Wish I had this earlier.' Amazon reviewer Love the layout! ‘Excellent layout of the information!! Information is concise, good for visual learners like myself. A great resource to have for all levels.' Amazon reviewer Clear and concise ‘Great resource! Each condition is clearly laid out with lots of areas to annotate and specific boxes to add notes. Will be really beneficial!' Amazon reviewer Wonderful exciting book!! ‘Wow I came across this book in my medical library and i was really really impressed! Very clear and includes all of the essential information and more! Highly recommend.'

Book SynopsisDesigned as a companion to the Forensic Psychiatry (Oxford Specialist Handbook), Second Edition, this new casebook complements the domains of both theory and practice put forward in the handbook, but also works as a standalone volume for those who wishes to enhance their decision making in cases they may confront in their discipline. Organised into three sections, the casebook allows the practitioner to think through not only the technical medical aspects of real-life clinical cases, but also the legal and ethical aspects. Part A provides an introduction to the theory and practice of decision-making; Part B presents cases across clinical, legal, and ethical domains; and Part C offers frameworks for critiquing decisions. This robustly discursive approach to a fact-based but also value-laden discipline enhances the opportunity to put knowledge into practice. The Oxford Casebook of Forensic Psychiatry expresses the concept that ''knowing is the only part of deciding'', offering an essential practitioner''s guide to decision making in clinical, forensic, and legal psychiatry.Table of ContentsPart A: Decision making A.1: Decision making theories A.2: Decision making in practice Part B: Cases B.1: Clinical cases B.2: Ethical cases B.3: Criminal law cases B.4: Civil law cases B.5: Mental capacity and mental health law cases Part C: Critiquing decisions C.1: The critique matrix C.2: Legal critiquing in general C.3: A case study of critiquing clinical decision making within multiple paradigms C.4: Other specific critique paradigms C.5: Conclusion: self-critique as the gold standard
