Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

DSM-5 might look like a massive scholarly tome (which it is), but this new edition of the standard diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders was destined to be headline grabber long before its publication. In fact, for years professionals and parents have been debating what the first DSM revision since 2000 would be like, and rumors and leaks about its new contents have circulating since late last year. Hoopla aside, this user-friendly provides clear, current criteria for diagnosing mental disorders aimed at helping doctors and caregiver improve both diagnosis and clinical care. A classic; born to controversy.
