Study Guide to DSM-5-TR (R)

The ultimate companion volume to DSM-5-TR, the Study
Guide is designed to help clinical learners, teachers, and
practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, and social work understand and
apply diagnostic criteria. Medical students, residents, and fellows and
trainees throughout the clinical neurosciences will find this text to be
invaluable in developing their diagnostic abilities. Readers learn key
clinical content through concise chapters and can assess their knowledge
with more than 100 multiple choice questions.

The book is organized
into three sections:


* Part I delves into foundational concepts of psychiatric diagnoses and
explores how diagnostic assessment fits into the process of working
therapeutically with patients. In this new edition, Part I includes a new
chapter examining structural and cultural considerations in arriving at a
diagnosis.
* Part II focuses on the diagnostic classes within DSM-5-TR
and features clinical case vignettes with real-life complexity relevant to
psychiatric diagnoses, diagnostic pearls that can be applied to daily
clinical practice, and a self-assessment section with key concepts,
questions for further discussion, patient cases, and Q&As.
* Part
III includes more than 100 multiple choice questions with an answer key.
These questions cover a range of diagnoses and patient presentations from
across DSM-5-TR, helping readers review their learning and assess their
skills.

Taking a patient-centered approach that complements the more
disorder-centered organization of DSM-5-TR, this Study Guide provides
context for DSM-5-TR's diagnoses while offering an array of interesting and
memorable cases. Rich in thought-provoking detail and designed for repeated
use, this is an indispensable guide for learners, educators, and
clinicians.
