From reviews of the first edition: "Following the glowing reviews of this book I bought it for my CSA preparation. It is a very well written book and a good resource for the CSA. I like the lay out with different case scenarios presented in the CSA style of - data gathering, interpersonal skills and clinical management. I like the open questions and focused questions for each scenario and the role play idea at the end of each case scenario. Interestingly this is the recommended read from our VTS programme."
