good

Extremely thoroughly researched diagnostic manual for clinical use foremost. Reflects rapid scientific development in the field, as well as implementing changes in the systematic principles, guided by the way actual use has departed from original intentions for the axis system, which in this edition has been abandoned. The work also jas taken into account "facts on the ground" like differences between states in the US regarding diagnostic prevalence of Asperger syndrome. Reasons for that difference having included economic factors like availabilty of treatment, gave impetus for incorporating Asperger into autistic spectrum disorder. Main reason though, similar to other redispostions, has been the need for reducing cases not well fitting into existing categories, thereby getting a diagnosis Not Otherwise Specified.Main feature probably greater emphasis on the flexible nature of knowledge in a rapidly developing field, which in about five years time will yeald DSM 5.1 affirming its character of a living document.Fully comparible with upcoming ICD-11.ICD-10 being the diagnostic classofocation system in use in Sweden, i have not paid much attention to DSM earlier, though it was presented in medical school. Not well enough, it seems, because the axial system never got fully explained as a tool for every patient. On the contrary, normal day-to-day eference to the axis system has, in my experience, taken the form of which axis the particular diagnosis in question belongs to.I gather this effect was unforeseen by the DSM-IV committees, in any case the shift away from the axis system makes it easier to handle where ICD-10 is in use. The finest feature of DSM 5 in my opinion is its well structured description of each diagnosis. Its compatibility with the next edition of ICD makes it the obvious reference work when diagnostic conundrums arise. Every week.

If you need a copy - this is a brilliant price. DSM-V comes with a range of controversial issues, so from an ethical standpoint you may decide to await the publication of ICD-11. If that is not an option, go for this offer while it is still available.

Invaluable for my CBT course and now work.Good quality book that gets a lot of use.A good therapist should be able to accurately ‘diagnose’ the condition and select an evidence based therapy protocol that fits this diagnosis. DSM helps guide this.

Great item as described, fast delivery and everything all perfect with the book🙏
