Psychiatry PRN contains core content for psychiatry education but gives prominence to clinical & practical skills as well as exam preparation. PRN is a Latin medical acronym meaning Pro Re Nata (as required). These letters also inform the structure of the book into the parts: Principles Reality & Next Steps. Each of the main chapters opens with Principles which cover the key characteristics of a psychiatric condition. This is the typical ground of textbooks & this book covers all the necessary ground as concerns undergraduate learning outcomes but is arguably more succinct than standard works on the subject. Nevertheless illustrations & the careful use of pedagogic features (prominence given to key facts tips & points of reflection as well as effective use of tables) lift even this most standard area of coverage. The Reality section is where this book begins to really distinguish itself with a practical articulation of clinical skills for the novice. This involves sample dialogue which might form part of the psychiatric interview which bravely yet skilfully reflects the reality with which patients present & the difficulties often encountered by medical students. The content in this section

Includes:: a general approach (Tips Tricks & Cautionary Tales) leading to a sample interview moving on to indicative stations for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). The Next Steps section puts psychiatry into the context of early working life as a doctor & highlights where psychiatric considerations overlap with medical & surgical management as exemplified by scenarios dealing with capacity to consent to treatment. Psychiatry PRN exists to enable students to engage with psychiatry. In addition to the framework described above the book is rich in illustrative content be that an original impressionistic picture of a condition or an allusion to contemporary cultural representations of mental health & illness to which students may relate albeit if they havent previously encountered psychiatric disease. To catalyse this process the book opens with Vincent Van Gogh as its first patient & continues in a vivid humane fashion to prepare the student for the typical content of undergraduate psychiatry with particular flair in terms of practical interactions with patients & associated assessment.
