"'There are a great many books and journal papers that the stressed candidate will be required to read and understand before, at last, going forward into that ultimate right of passage, namely the Membership Examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Now all your exhausting revision work has been finally completed, I commend you to this excellent revision guide; a vital revision aid which will remind you of all you have already learned, and will help you put all this information into a logical order. It should help to ease your passage through the examination and give you a smooth landing on the other side. It has helped a great many of your colleagues who have gone before, and I hope it will do the same for you - the best of luck.' Simon Baugh, in the Foreword"
