DSM-5 Made Easy 1st Edition: The Clinician’s Guide to Diagnosis PDF
In this indispensable book, master diagnostician James Morrison presents the spectrum of diagnoses in DSM-5 in an accessible, engaging, clinically useful format.
Demystifying DSM-5 criteria without sacrificing accuracy, the book includes ICD-10-CM codes for each disorder.
More than 130 detailed case vignettes illustrate typical patient presentations; down-to-earth discussions of each case demonstrate how to arrive at the diagnosis and rule out other likely possibilities.
Providing a wealth of diagnostic pointers, Morrison writes with the wisdom and wit that made his guide to the prior DSM a valued resource for hundreds of thousands of clinicians and students.
His website (www.guilford.com/jm) offers additional discussion and resources related to psychiatric diagnosis and DSM-5.
