The intelligent clinician's guide to DSM-5

The intelligent clinician's guide to DSM-5 - Oxford Oxford University Press 2013

This book explores all revisions to the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual, and shows clinicians how they can best apply its strong points and shortcomings. It uses evidence-based critiques and new research to point out where DSM-5 is right, where it is wrong, and where there is no consensus. In doing so it covers the many public controversies and clinical debates surrounding the drafting of the manual and shows how they inform a modern understanding of psychiatric illness, diagnosis and treatment.
