Psychiatry Board Review: Pearls of Wisdom: Third Edition contains more than 3,000 quick-hit questions and answers addressing the most frequently tested topics on psychiatry board and in-service examinations. Only the correct answers are given, so only the correct answers can be memorized. The rapid-fire question-and-answer format with checkboxes to mark which questions to come back to lends itself to studying alone or with a partner. Every question in this edition has been carefully evaluated to make sure it is completely up-to-date.

The new edition addresses four sections of major importance on the boards: General Information; Psychopathology (such as eating disorders and sleep disorders); Special Topics (such as substance abuse and child psychiatry); and Treatment Modalities. This book is already strong in the review of quantitative and experimental methods of psychiatry. Coverage of psychotherapy and psychological sciences has been strengthened. The book has been reorganized so that topics are isolated together for a more concentrated review.
