The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders stands alone as the most authoritative reference available for clinical practice in the mental health field, and the structural and diagnostic changes in the fifth edition are "must-know" material for every clinician. The Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-5® distills the most crucial, updated diagnostic information from this volume to provide clinicians with an invaluable resource for effectively diagnosing mental disorders, ranging from the most prevalent to the least common.
Intended to be used in conjunction with the new fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the highly influential classification guide to mental disorders, this is a desktop reference (although it is actually small enough to almost be considered a pocket reference) intended to aid in navigation of the DSM-5, by providing only the DSM-5 Classification (i.e., the list of disorders, subtypes, specifiers, and diagnostic codes), sections describing the use of the manual, and diagnostic criteria sets.
