[Essie-Marie F. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I learned a lot. This was for a class, obvs, so Idk enough about psych to give a good review on this book. I had a lot of fun in the class, and this book was relatively easy to annotate and read through.

I didn't actually read the entire thing, just what was required for the class. I'm only keeping this on GR for record-keeping and if you have a problem with that, I don't particularly care lol

This book explains in depth the disorders outlined in the DSM IV. It explores some of the controversies around diagnosis in psychology as well. It taps into the following disorders: anxiety, dissociative, somatoform, mood, suicide, substance abuse, substance dependence, eating, sleep, gender and sexuality, schizophrenia, psychotic, personality, impulse control, childhood, and disorders related to aging.

Psych

There is a lot of great info in this book about the different disorder's that there are. Be careful though, you might think that you have some of these disorders.

text book - for a text book it is easy reading, sometimes a little long winded but not so dense that you fall asleep. - a good quality for a text book

A good textbook.

[Chris Parsons · Rating 4 out of 5]

Normally I do not add textbooks. Yet, being academically obligated to read this bastard, cover-to-cover, over the last year cost me my reading challenge of 2018. So, it's head I mount on the wall.

断断续续看了好久。很难的一个问题就是如何界定各类精神疾病吧，即使是DSM有详尽的描述，但是有些还是难以区分。每一章节都从几个不同角度的理论进行了解释，讲的比较浅。不过有一些章节也挺更新认知的，以及...好几章看的时候都觉得自己好像也挺符合？

For a textbook, I found this book very enjoyable. The writing was clear and concise, there were minimal spelling and grammar issues, and the layout is very reader-friendly. I actually will probably keep this book to use in practice down the road.

So far I have learned that I am lucky to have a relatively sane thought in my head. Of course, I have not yet begun to read...

[Debra]

One of the better textbooks I've read so far. Easy to follow, easy to understand. Good use of language-nothing is over my head or redundant.
