"Why should psychiatrists become certified?" Board certification today is not just a mark of excellence that qualifies psychiatrists for more pay; it also has become a necessity-required by hospitals, managed care providers, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The third edition of this eminently practical volume offers a proven roadmap for successfully navigating one of the most stressful events of the psychiatrist's professional life-Part II of the ABPN examination. During this ordeal, candidates must put away their accustomed mantle of authority and, within a rigid time limit and under the spotlight's glare, obtain a body of information, formulate and defend a diagnosis, and discuss etiology, prognosis, and therapy. The authors have packed this updated version with information gleaned from every available resource, including interviews with dozens of candidates and examiners. The first chapter diagnoses the most common reasons for failure; the balance of the book prescribes the steps that will best help candidates avoid problems during their board examinations. These recommendations can benefit all candidates, whether they are just beginning to prepare, are short on time, are already well prepared with at least two mock board exams (MBEs), or have failed at least once and plan to try again. Meticulously referenced and indexed, with 13 chapters (one of them an actual recorded MBE) and 5 appendixes, this indispensable guide will be welcomed by ABPN candidates everywhere.
