Learning DSM-5-TR® by Case Example

Taking an innovative, case-based approach to DSM-5-TR, this new volume provides comprehensive, practical guidance to understanding the latest diagnostic criteria and applying them effectively to practice.

Organized according to the order of the 19 diagnostic groupings as they appear in DSM-5-TR, this manual features at least one case (and often multiple cases) for each unique mental disorder included in DSM-5-TR-drawn from the real-world practice of a diverse group of experts. Each chapter offers an overview of the manifestation of the various disorders in each disorder class; a table summarizing the key characteristics of individual disorders; and a rich discussion of the hallmark features, prevalence, clinical course, and commonly co-occurring conditions of each disorder, among other topics.

This edition also features four new, cutting-edge cases from the "Conditions for Further Study" chapter in DSM-5-TRand from ICD-11, including Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome and Internet Gaming Disorder, as well as Olfactory Reference Disorder and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder, respectively.

Expansive in scope and meticulous in its level of detail, Learning DSM-5-TR by Case Example is as relevant for students and trainees learning about the diagnosis of psychopathology as it is for experienced clinicians seeking to improve their understanding of the new concepts and terminology in DSM-5-TR.
