"The most comprehensive, current, and critical resource for clinical practice available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers of all orientations. DSM-5 is used by health professionals, social workers,and forensic and legal specialists to diagnose and classify mental disorders, and is the product of more than 10 years of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health. The criteria are concise and explicit, intended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom presentations in a variety of clinical settings--inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital, consultation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care"--From the preface.
DSM-5 is also available in our library's print reference collection. The call number is: [Ref] RC455.2.C4 D536 2013.

"DSM-5 Clinical Cases is intended to accompany the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). DSM-5 Clinical Cases is, however, fundamentally different from DSM-5 in regard to its presentation of information. Each of its 19 chapters features cases chosen to demonstrate one or more DSM-5 diagnoses, and each of the cases (103 in all) is followed by a short diagnostic discussion. Some cases were chosen to highlight common diagnoses, while others were chosen to highlight the ambiguities and controversies that have made DSM-5 discussions so hotly contested"--From the preface.

"This handbook should improve your skill in formulating a comprehensive differential diagnosis by presenting the [given] problem from a number of different perspectives"--From the preface.

Full text of the first four editions of the DSM, their supplements, and revisions-- published in 1952, 1965, 1968, 1973, 1980, 1987, 1994, and 2000, respectively.
