“This new book, OSCEs in Psychiatry, edited by Albert Michael and others is comprehensive in its approach. It covers every conceivable diagnostic category. The scenarios and situations are extraordinary for their range and similitude to clinical reality. The book is particularly impressive in its advice to trainees – it contains lessons for life, not only for the examination. The book is a brilliant achievement, bringing as it does the highest level of clinical thinking and expertise to bear on the instruction of trainees preparing for the clinical examination.”Femi Oyebode MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Birmingham, UK“This comprehensive work addresses what has been a glaring absence from libraries within UK-orientated psychiatry – not a guide to the ‘what’ or the ‘when’, but material on the one thing trainees themselves can control, the ‘how’. It provides an invaluable template to aid exam progression but, for the diligent student, also offers those structures that will aid progression in wider clinical practice. An admirable addition to the educational repertoire of modern psychiatry.”David Cunningham Owens, MD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, University of Edinburgh, UK
