Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5 by American Psychiatric Association Paperback Paperback – 15 July 2022

I love this little book, it gives a great overview of all the mental health conditions in an easy to carry book. Its like a pocket dictionary which is great. I would recommend it to friends. The delivery was also superfast.

This is a must for anyone working in the Speciality. It is reasonably priced and essential to have a personal copy rather than depend on its availability in the Department.

Useful reference tool and arrived promptly. I accept the criticisms of other reviewers that the standard of print and paper may not be sufficiently good for very regular use but for my occasional use it's fine

The manual arrived earlier than anticipated. The price through this seller was considerably better than other sites. The manual was clearly new and in plastic wrap. About a dozen of the pages were folded (not dog-eared, more like the manual had been closed that way during manufacturer packaging) but this was easily remedied. I agree with other reviewers that the quality of the print is considerably lower than previous manuals, but the bottom line is that this is meant to be a functional, not aesthetic, product. I do like that ICD codes, and coding explanations, are included next to diagnostic codes. Unless one is completely unfamiliar with clinical diagnostics, I can't imagine why one would drop $$ for the inflated cost of the full manual. This is all you need. I will follow the advice of other reviewers, however, and get this spiral-bound.

Just what i wanted; pocket size desk reference!

Good print.....no surprices... !

A good summary of DSM-5. I wish more British doctors would read it. DSM is clearer than ICD, with better inter-rater reliability.

Very useful for my work.
