Description
This text takes the clinical concepts and terminology from DSM-IV and illustrates them into three dimensional examples that show both the usefulness and limitations of the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. For each of the cases it provides: a five-axis DSM-IV diagnosis; a discussion of the most likely differential diagnosis and how to choose amongst them; and a review of treatment options.
