CMHC 6030 - DSM Diagnostics

Not a big fan of the IPM but this was a great starting place, I've become more fond of the funnel method. The quirky case studies do highlight how to use the principles in the text and help strengthen diagnostic muscles.

Read this for my clinical assessment course, I love the cinema case examples!

[Michelle Mccarty · Rating 3 out of 5]

I find this book to have awkward placement of examples making it difficult to get the full understanding when flipping back and forth so much.

This is a required textbook for my online class. As textbooks go, it is not bad!
