Editorial Review:

This workbook contains 400 board-type multiple-choice questions from the annual FOCUS Self-Assessment Examinations that can help psychiatrists prepare for examinations and identify areas for further study. The questions, developed by the FOCUS self-assessment board, are consistent in form and process with the questions used by high-stakes examinations. They cover important clinical areas of psychiatric practice and closely follow the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) outline of topics for the recertification examination in psychiatry.
The FOCUS Psychiatry Review is designed to test current knowledge and its clinical application. The workbook is flexible in format, allowing readers to use the educational approach that works best for them. Readers can review resource materials prior to answering questions, or they can use the workbook to review the references listed in the critiques after scoring test sections.
The workbook will be useful for anyone committed to lifelong learning in the field--psychiatric residents, practicing psychiatrists, and psychiatrists preparing for examinations. The FOCUS Psychiatry Review

good for psych questions:

The questions in this book were pretty good and the answers were illuminating while still being succint. It was a very helpful book but it did not cover neurology sufficiently at all. It works well with another book for the neuro portion.
