When I was preparing for my final MBBS examinations in 1981, I was faced with
the enormous challenge of reading through thick medical textbooks, end to end. I
did so; but that was when I discovered that there is also much learning to be
obtained from studying the different subjects through multiple choice questions
(MCQs), happily, a few books of which were available in my college library.

It gives me much pleasure to write the foreword to this book which comprises a
multi author compilation of quiz questions in psychiatry. I am sure that this book
will help students of psychiatry to revise what they have learnt and to prepare for
their examinations, including oral examinations. It would give quiz masters a
resource for questions to pose to eager candidates. It would give students an
opportunity to prepare for quizzes. And I imagine that examiners would find it
easier, using this book, to find ideas for questions for postgraduate students.

This book is a worthy successor to the previous book, the IPSKC MCQ's in
Psychiatry: 1000+ which was published in 2017. My congratulations to the
authors.

The role of a Teacher is not only to teach, but also to assess how much the
student has learnt. A good Teacher is one who makes the students learn and
assesses the students with different tools. This small booklet on MCQs in
Psychiatry written by Dr. Anil Kakunje and friends is not only a compendium on
questions set by the authors but also a ready- reckoner in the subject. The
exhaustive coverage includes questions of varying types, varying difficulty
levels and also varying degrees of interest. A difficult subject like Psychiatry is
made to look so easy that even a novice in Psychiatry will start liking the subject
and the way it is assessed. short answer questions make the subject easy and
enjoyable.

The authors have toiled much in making the manuscript look modern and current
and they have included best of 4 response MCQs, True or False, Fill in the blanks,
Match the tables etc. These are all the ways of improving the students' ability to
grasp the subject as well. A few more items like K type MCQs, Multiple True or
False etc could be included in the next edition. Compliments to the authors for
their efforts and interest in making their subject seem more interesting. May their
efforts bear fruits.

The advantage of such short booklets is the ease with which one can carry it
anywhere for preparation of any competitive examinations. Wish the authors
and students all success in learning Psychiatry.

Preface
I never thought I would go into writing books! A lot of learning
material would not be available unless you compile it in a
systematic manner and preserve it. This endeavor is yet another
step in that direction. The first edition of the book was a dream
which became a reality in 2017. I was immensely touched by the
appreciations received from the students, readers and question
paper setters which motivated me to move on to the revised second
edition. This edition is around 50% larger than the first edition. It has
more than 1600 questions and answers which would help medical
undergraduates, post graduates and also students preparing for
entrance / competitive examinations. We have taken utmost care to
minimize errors.

I thank all the contributors for their whole hearted cooperation. I

thank my family members for their immense support especially my
wife Sushma and son Ishaan as the time spent on this is majorly
from their quota.

I extend my thanks to Mr Wilfred of Chetana Printers for his

cooperation.
