Used this book during my MSW program. Great examples of cases in an easy to read format.

[Boris Tizenberg]

An anthology of intriguing cases that are meant to illustrate most diagnosis present in DSM V. The discussions following the cases are illuminating in a variety of ways and make the cases very accessible.

Excellent for diagnosis training. I used these cases for practicum and internship training.

I was shocked by the vast gaps in attention and unsettling diagnostic processes I read about in this text. The psychology field has a long way to go! Eek! That being said, I'm glad I read it, and I learned some interesting stuff, particularly about learning disabilities and comorbidity.
