**DSM-5 in just over 100**
No need to read the entire DSM-5! (Well, unless, of course, you've been in suspense since '94 when the last DSM was published!)
In just over 100 pages, Lourie clearly highlights the key changes in this latest version of the DSM. Reflecting the same order of the big book itself, this guide nicely summarizes the changes in diagnostic criteria from the previous version and introduces the "new" disorders (such as hoarding, binge eating, and excoriation disorders) and specifiers. This guide also covers categorical changes (two biggies being the childhood-onset disorders now incorporated into their respective “adult” categories, and the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders becoming their own chapter), and the new coding and classification system changes (goodbye 5-axial diagnoses).
The author's hope for the book is two-fold:
"After reading this book, I hope professionals will feel comfortable in their knowledge and armed with the information they need to conduct diagnoses based on DSM-5...Above all, I hope that this book benefits clients and ensures that they receive the care they deserve." (p. xii)
Mission accomplished--savvy-ly so!

Handy little quick reference guide but in no way covers some of the pervasive issues surrounding the new manual.
