Very Good !

Very good book. There are some printing errors on the answers and be careful about that. It will be great if they include more psychotherapy questions. This book will certainly improve ones grades.

Best question book

I found this book to be helpful. Overall, the questions seem to approximate the level of difficulty one might expect from Boards. There are some questions basaed on clinical vignettes, but not as many as I would have liked. Questions are grouped into nineteen chapters dedicated to specific topics, and there is a well-constructed index. These features were very helpful in terms of organizing my study and focusing on my weaker areas. I ended up giving priority to this text in my study for Boards. The most significant weaknesses are that the psychology and psychotherapy questions seem to be too limited in their number and breadth. It would also be nice if there were some questions based on imaging. These weaknesses, though, seem to be common in review texts and question books.
