Covering neurology information that psychiatrists must know, Kaufman's Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists, 10th Edition, is the best resource to prepare for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) examination and to practice in the hospital and clinic. Dr. David Myland Kaufman, along with associate editors Drs. Howard L. Geyer and Mark J. Milstein, brings you up to date with topics you’ll encounter, offering new content, high-quality information, illustrations, and nearly 2,000 multiple-choice questions.
Discusses timely, clinically relevant topics, including traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, childhood and geriatric conditions, neurologic causes of autism spectrum disorder symptoms, neurologic illnesses that present with psychiatric symptoms, sleep disorders, and neurologic effects of illicit drug use
Includes nearly 2,000 multiple-choice questions in print and online, all designed to help you succeed on the ABPN certifying exam; every chapter includes questions, plus, at the end, an extensive set of additional review questions
Contains new content on the judicious use of AI in formulating the differential diagnosis and the plan for patient evaluation; which psychotropics and antiseizure medications cause neurologic or psychiatric symptoms; biomarkers for Alzheimer disease and new Alzheimer medications; expanded content on delirium, dyslexia, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and autoimmune encephalitis; and advances in imaging.
Correlates neurologic illnesses with the DSM-5-TR
Features illustrations — because the practice of neurology relies on visual information — of clinical abnormalities, neuroanatomy, EEGs, CTs, and MRIs
Explains conditions’ neurologic and psychiatric features, easily performed office and bedside examinations, appropriate testing, differential diagnosis, and management options
Based on Dr. Kaufman’s annual exam prep course, which has served more than 25,000 psychiatrists over the years, this classic text has been translated into several languages for global use
An eBook version, included with purchase, allows you to access all of the text, illustrations, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish after the publication date
