Psychiatric Assessment Mastery – Digital Edition (PDF/eBook)

A Clinician’s Guide to Confident, Structured Mental Health Evaluation

Psychiatric Assessment Mastery is a practical, step-by-step guide designed to help PMHNP students, psychiatric nurses, and new clinicians perform safe, structured, and confident mental health assessments.

Unlike traditional textbooks, this workbook emphasizes clinical reasoning, documentation clarity, and real-world application. Readers learn how to conduct a comprehensive Mental Status Examination (MSE), document findings using the SOAP format, and navigate DSM-5-TR diagnostic families without overwhelm.

• ✅ Psychiatric Interviewing: Structure your visits and use exact scripts for difficult conversations (trauma, substance use, safety).

• ✅ MSE Fundamentals: Learn what to observe and how to document the Mental Status Exam objectively.

• ✅ Diagnostic Reasoning: Build a differential diagnosis and spot patterns quickly.

• ✅ SOAP Note Documentation: Fill-in-the-blank frameworks that preceptors love.
