this book is one of the BEST books in the field. of all the books i read in graduate school, this was one of the most helpful and useful. the DSM-IV is very dense; and this book is very well-organized and easy to read, making the DSM-IV more understandable and case conceptualization even easier. case examples add to the utility and practicality of this text. "quick guides" and "tips" are additionally helpful with differential diagnostic concerns. a must-have for ANY mental health diagnostician. also a great resource for physicians and other medical practitioners when assessing the probability of a psychological component to a patient's presentation or when considering the need for a referral to a mental health specialist.

This is an AWESOME book. The case vignettes are extremely helpful, and the book is written so that it is easy to read. I HATE "textbook" type books, and this book isn't like that at all. It really does help to clarify some of the diagnoses in the DSM, which can be quite confusing even when someone has used the manual for years. I've used this book a lot already, even though I've only had it about a month. It's helped me tease apart some details and observations to make what I think are more accurate diagnoses with some of my clients. Purchase this book and you will NOT be sorry!!
 A practical explanation of the DSM-IV March 12, 2003

This book provides a practical explanation of the "DSM-IV" that will appeal to anyone who wants a thorough, simplified description of this complex book. I'm only giving it four stars because I don't think it provides an explanation of the latest changes made in the "DSM-IV-TR". The book will nonetheless appeal to nearly anyone seeking to improve their grasp of psychiatry, not just psychiatrists in training. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".
