Psychiatric Diagnostic Criteria Audio CD

Never use ‘NOS’ again; Increase Reimbursements; Pass Oral Boards!

One Simple Audio CD; Vocal material is enunciated slowly and carefully by clear-speaking Midwestern Psychiatrist. 

A Simple, Useful Product

On my daily drive to the office I sometimes prepare my mind for the work of the day.  Other times I find talk radio, or it finds me… or I find the perfect morning ‘golden oldie’.  But occasionally my drive seems to be a frustrating waste of time.  I have searched for the right type of learning product for commuting; something simple and repetitious, so simple that I wouldn’t have to fiddle with dials and repeat a passage after momentary distraction at a busy intersection.   The commute time is an ideal time to hear material that takes a great deal of repetition to learn— particularly material that I would really like to know, but that I am unlikely to take the time to learn at any other time of my busy day.

 

Psychiatric diagnostic criteria are the building blocks of psychiatric practice, allowing accurate, relevant communication between psychiatrists, mental health workers, and insurers.  Unfortunately, the criteria are so complex and detailed that they are often applied without precision, either applied when a patient seems ‘close enough’, or more often specific criteria are replaced by a catch-all category followed by ‘NOS’.

 

This simple product is an audio recitation of the diagnostic criteria for psychiatric disorders.  No significant effort is made to discuss, clarify, or interpret the criteria, as such attempts would add complexity that would stand in the way of the learning objective.  I slowly go through the psychiatric diagnoses, and present the defining criteria.  For the major diagnoses I allow an occasional pause for the listener to test his or her own knowledge.  I suggest that the listener simply listen to the material a number of times, and through repetition become thoroughly familiar with the criteria for each disorder.  Imagine one’s comfort level for exams and presentations when specific criteria are referenced with ease!
