| Discipline: | Psychiatry | | Subject Definition: | Mental Disorders-Diagnosis | | NLM Class: | WM 40 | | LC Class: | RC473 | | Abstract: | Learning DSM-5-TR by Case Example uses a case-based approach to learn about DSM-5-TR diagnoses and incorporates new information contained in the DSM-5-TR text across all 19 diagnostic classes. With the goal of teaching students about the diagnosis of psychopathology, the authors first describe each DSM-5-TR disorder in prototypical terms and then illustrate how these prototypes present in real-life clinical settings. Adapted, real cases have been drawn from the authors' own clinical experience and from the practices of a large number of clinicians, among them many well-known experts in particular areas of diagnosis and treatment. This updated edition includes a new disorder added to DSM-5-TR, prolonged grief disorder, and four new "cutting edge," emerging cases. These are joined by cases from the previous edition of this book (based on DSM-5), which continue to be useful to teach about psychopathology as the field evolves, and with updated discussions. |
