The Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review and Resource Manual, 4th Edition (ISBN-13 9781935213796) is the study and clinical reference that PMHNP candidates use to organize their PMHNP exam prep and consolidate the broad knowledge base the ANCC certification exam tests. Written by Kathryn Johnson and Dawn Vanderhoef and published by the American Nurses Association Nursing Knowledge Center, this PMHNP Review manual covers psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, psychopharmacology, therapeutic approaches, and care across the full lifespan.
About This PMHNP Review Manual
Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner certification sits at the intersection of advanced nursing practice, psychiatry, and psychopharmacology, and the knowledge required spans a wider range of conditions, populations, and modalities than most NP specialties. This Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review manual pulls that broad content into one organized reference, structured around the domains that ANCC certification evaluates.
What makes this one of the more practical PMHNP Books is that it serves two purposes at once. During exam prep, the content review and practice questions help candidates identify gaps and reinforce what they already know. After certification, the same content works as a clinical reference for psychopharmacology, assessment frameworks, and lifespan care considerations that come up regularly in practice. Most PMHNP resources make you choose between exam prep and clinical utility. This one does both.
Edition note: This is the 4th Edition, published April 2016. Before using this manual as your primary PMHNP exam prep resource, confirm with ANCC whether the current exam blueprint is aligned with the 4th Edition or a more recent publication.
What the PMHNP Review Manual Covers

• DSM-based diagnosis: recognizing and differentiating psychiatric disorders across mood, anxiety, psychotic, personality, and neurodevelopmental categories
• Psychopharmacology: medications used in psychiatric practice including antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, stimulants, and hypnotics
• Psychotherapy and therapeutic modalities: CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and evidence-based therapy approaches in psychiatric practice

• Substance use disorders: screening, assessment, and treatment approaches for co-occurring psychiatric and substance use conditions

Who Should Use This PMHNP Review Manual?
Registered nurses and advanced practice nurses preparing for the ANCC Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification exam are the primary audience for this manual. PMHNP exam prep is demanding because the content spans psychiatry, psychopharmacology, developmental psychology, and clinical nursing practice, and this review manual organizes all of those areas in one place.
Newly certified PMHNPs use it in the first year of practice as a clinical desk reference for psychopharmacology, assessment frameworks, and population-specific care considerations. PMHNP programs and faculty use the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Review manual as a supplementary resource for students approaching the end of their graduate program. NPs in adjacent specialties considering the PMHNP credential as an additional certification also use it to assess the scope of the exam and the knowledge areas they would need to prepare.
Why Choose This Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review Manual?
PMHNP exam prep resources are not abundant compared to other NP specialty certifications, which makes a comprehensive, organized manual particularly valuable. This Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Review manual covers the full scope of the certification content in a single volume from the American Nurses Association, the organization whose credentialing body administers the PMHNP exam, which gives it a direct authority that third-party study guides cannot match.
The dual use as a clinical reference after certification also adds long-term value to the purchase. A PMHNP Review resource that stays useful in practice is worth considerably more than one you shelve after the exam.
