Neurology and Psychiatry

Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program, Seventh Edition

ACCP’s popular Pharmacotherapy Self-Assessment Program, seventh edition, (PSAP-VII), provides pertinent pharmacotherapeutic updates to enhance and assess the practice skills of clinical pharmacists. The program, composed of 11 books, is approved by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties for the recertification of Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialists (BCPSs).

Neurology and Psychiatry provides recent evidence-based information on the management of several mental health and neurologic disorders. The book includes nine chapters divided into three learning modules:

• Module I
  • Major Depressive Disorder
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses
• Module II
  • Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack
  • Dementias and Related Neuropsychiatric Issues
  • Parkinson Disease
• Module III
  • Management of Acute Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Inflammatory Neuropathies
  • Rating Scales in Psychiatric Disorders

As with other PSAP-VII books, each chapter has an extensive annotated bibliography that identifies key research articles, clinical practice guidelines, texts, and Web sites relevant to recent developments in that particular area of pharmacotherapy. Self-assessment questions provided at the end of each chapter may be used by the BCPS to earn credit toward board recertification and by clinical pharmacists to earn continuing pharmacy education credit.

Other books in the seventh edition are Cardiology, Critical and Urgent Care, Women’s and Men’s Health, Pediatrics, Chronic Illnesses, Oncology, Geriatrics, Science and Practice of Pharmacotherapy, Infectious Diseases, and Gastroenterology and Nutrition (to be released July 16, 2012).

All PSAP-VII books are available in both print and online formats and as either single books or the full series (11 books). More information on the full schedule of books with release dates, tables of contents, learning objectives, sample chapters, deadlines for submitting online posttests, and recertification credit hours for each is available at http://www.accp.com/bookstore/psap7.aspx .
