Revision Notes in Psychiatry
Puri, Hall
2004, 2nd edition
Published by Hodder Arnold
Any candidate for the MRCPsych or equivalent postgraduate examinations will feel challenged by the daunting breadth of the syllabus as well as by the level of detail required. Revision Notes in Psychiatry responds to that challenge by comprehensively presenting key up-to-date information across the whole spectrum of psychiatry and its scientific basis, within a clear structure. Since the highly successful publication of the first edition of Revision Notes in Psychiatry, there have been many new discoveries within most fields of psychiatry, and the subsequent updating of the MRCPsych is reflected in the second edition. Key features of the new edition: Concise format – covers the whole range of the subject, by focusing on the essential facts and opinions; Comprehensive – includes both clinical psychiatry and sciences fundamental to psychiatry; Up-to-date – includes many of the latest findings that take years to make their way into textbooks; Readable – whilst information is highly organised, this is not simply a book of lists; Ideal for MRCPsych revision – the structure unashamedly follows the membership syllabus.
Similar to Examination Notes in Psychiatry but not as compact. Information is given in note form making it very easy to revise from. Used to be a favourite amongst trainees.
Follows the syllabus of the old Parts 1 and 2 exams published by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. In need of an update.
