Questions

How do I make the cards?

Print the PDF and cut along the grid lines. You can print on regular paper or card stock. Each card has the term and a plain-English definition.

Are these good for exams or class?

They're a study aid for learning terminology in plain English. They're education, not a test bank or clinical reference, so check anything important against your course materials.

Who wrote and reviewed this?

It comes from Shrinktionary, written and medically reviewed by Shariq Refai, MD, MBA, FAPA, a board certified psychiatrist. Dr. Refai founded shrinkMD, the clinical arm of The Shrink Network, and we mention that in the spirit of full disclosure. It's education, not medical advice.
