Description

The ultimate companion volume to DSM-5-TR, the Study Guide is designed to help clinical learners, teachers, and practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, and social work understand and apply diagnostic criteria. Medical students, residents, and fellows and trainees throughout the clinical neurosciences will find this text to be invaluable in developing their diagnostic abilities. Readers learn key clinical content through concise chapters and can assess their knowledge with more than 100 multiple choice questions.

The book is organized into three sections:

  • Part I delves into foundational concepts of psychiatric diagnoses and explores how diagnostic assessment fits into the process of working therapeutically with patients. In this new edition, Part I includes a new chapter examining structural and cultural considerations in arriving at a diagnosis.
  • Part II focuses on the diagnostic classes within DSM-5-TR and features clinical case vignettes with real-life complexity relevant to psychiatric diagnoses, diagnostic pearls that can be applied to daily clinical practice, and a self-assessment section with key concepts, questions for further discussion, patient cases, and Q&As.
  • Part III includes more than 100 multiple choice questions with an answer key. These questions cover a range of diagnoses and patient presentations from across DSM-5-TR, helping readers review their learning and assess their skills.

Taking a patient-centered approach that complements the more disorder-centered organization of DSM-5-TR, this Study Guide provides context for DSM-5-TR's diagnoses while offering an array of interesting and memorable cases. Rich in thought-provoking detail and designed for repeated use, this is an indispensable guide for learners, educators, and clinicians.
