MCQs are widely used to assess medical student's knowledge. They are also very useful for self-assessment, allowing rapid movement through wide areas of knowledge. MCQs in Psychiatry provides 124 carefully worded multi-stem questions that not only test factual knowledge, but also designed to ensure the application of knowledge by putting it into context. All answers are followed by clear explanations that emphasize the importance of turning theory into practice. There are no trick questions here; this is a book about the practice in psychiatry rather than exam technique.
