Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists, 6th Edition

by David Myland Kaufman

The sixth edition of this popular favorite is ideal for board review, as well as for clinical reference on neurologic illnesses that can cause or mimic psychiatric symptoms. First it reviews anatomic neurology, describes how to approach patients with suspected neurologic disorders and correlates physical signs. Then it addresses clinical areas such as relevant history, easily performed examinations, differential diagnosis, and management approaches, and reviews psychiatric comorbidity. Abundant line drawings, CTs, MRIs, and EEGs demonstrate key clinical findings to facilitate diagnosis. And, more than 1,600 review questions help you to test and enhance your mastery of the material.

Essential resource for board review

[Dana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wish I had read this book in med school. I might have become a neurologist. Ok, maybe not, but I would have understood neurology significantly better and aptly utilized my neurology rotation intern year.

I recommend starting this book intern year. It is very readable and essential for the neuro section of the ABPN part one.

So necessary...so hated

Solid for what it is, but why do medical books have to be so dry? They should all come with caffeine.
