Learning DSM-5 by Case Example by Michael B First Md
The nearly 200 cases featured in this guide are drawn from the clinical experience of well over 100 clinicians, many of whom are well-known experts in particular areas of diagnosis and treatment.
Nothing brings a construct better to life than a vivid example, and this text explodes with wonderfully instructive illustrations of DSM-5 disordersThis text will provide outstanding supplemental reading for courses across the mental health professions." - Thomas A. Widiger, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky
"For the newcomer to mental disorder classification, and even for seasoned clinicians, DSM-5 can seem daunting in its complexity and depth. Fortunately, Drs. First, Skodol, Williams, and Spitzer have provided a marvelously rich compendium of case material that helps the detailed criteria on the pages of DSM-5 come alive." - Robert F. Krueger Ph.D., Hathaway Distinguished Professor, Distinguished McKnight University Professor, and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota
"In this superb casebook, diagnostic categories jump off the page in the context of brief but vivid descriptions of real patients. Continuing and improving on the strong tradition of previous editions of this casebook, various case studies are provided illustrating the different ways in which patients might meet criteria for one DSM-5 disorder or another, and unlike previous editions, the case examples align very closely with each chapter in DSM-5. Everyone teaching or learning about psychopathology would benefit from this excellent resource." - David H. Barlow Ph.D., ABPP, Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, Boston University, Founder and Director Emeritus, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders
"I cannot imagine how new students could get an understanding of our diagnostic system without this book. Truly a must read for teachers, students, and practitioners of medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, occupational and physical therapy, and others who interact with persons suffering from mental disorders." - A. John Rush, Professor Emeritus, Duke-National University of Singapore Graduate Medical School
