The price was a little high, but the book was in perfect condition and arrived in a very timely manner.
 An excellent and necessary resource April 8, 2009
Anise (Nashville, TN USA)
As an MSW student, I was required to buy this book; it's certainly a vital resource for a social worker who will be working in community mental health. We provide the majority of the mental and behavioral health services in this country-- not psychologists, not psychiatrists, not nurses, not nurse practitioners, not any other type of therapists. So we need to have this book! I also supplement this information with a tremendous amount of research through the University of Tennessee, so I am in a position to know that the committees got things right for the most part.
My biggest point of contention when it comes to the DSM-IV-TR is that someone (who, I don't know) chose to not include complex PTSD disorders of extreme stress, not otherwise specified, as was recommended by many experts in the field (Judith Hermann among others.) Because of this, all PTSD is still lumped together in the anxiety disorders. Complex PTSD needs to be in with the dissociative disorders; all the evidence points that way. Virtually all of the diagnostic criteria for PTSD puts it in the dissociative disorders category anyway; only a limited number of the most superficial symptoms are similar to the anxiety disorders. Quite honestly, I'm not sure why it's still in there, except that some stubborn old MD's are probably still arguing for it. If PTSD can't have its own category, as it maybe should, then it likely should go in with the DD's rather than the anxiety disorders. But this is my pet peeve, clearly!

DSM IV TR review March 1, 2009
Kayte (Australia)
I purchased this book from Australia because it proved to be the best price, even delivered.
It is utilised for the diagnosis of clinical disorders and certainly a good reference tool for professionals.
I was happy with the product, price and delivery options.

When I received this book it was packaged terribly. The ad stated it was a new book but the binding on the book was broken and the pages were falling out. Due to the packaging the corners of the book were damaged and bent. It was an expensive purchase ment for the workplace and it looks terrible and unprofessional.
