Accessibly written and easy to use, this comprehensive book covers everything professionals and students need to know about DSM-IV. Following the same format as DSM-IV, the text presents every diagnosis. For each it includes
case examples, a detailed analysis of each case, and a clear explanation of how to arrive at the diagnosis and how to rule out other possibilities. Essential for all mental health practitioners studying for their licensing exams, this hands-on resource will be valued by psychiatrists, residents, psychologists, marriage and family counselors, social workers, and anyone who needs to know about DSM-IV.
this book is one of the BEST books in the field. of all the books i read in graduate school, this was one of the most helpful and useful. the DSM-IV is very dense; and this book is very well-organized… I use this text as a support text for a class I teach on Sex crimes and
Paraphilias.. It works well in determiong background on offenders.
