Summary

This is an essential text for candidates preparing for postgraduate specialist exams in psychiatry, particularly the MRCPsych. This Basic Sciences volume is a companion to the successful Examination Notes in Psychiatry 3/e: A postgraduate text, which covers the clinical topics. The basic sciences are often poorly understood by trainee psychiatrists, although they form the foundation of clinical practice and are examined in detail, particularly for the MRCPsych Part II examination. This is a comprehensive text for the basic sciences, offering a breadth of information at an appropriate level to meet the needs of the exam candidate.
