Study Guide to DSM-5-TR

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.
