محتواش که خب دی‌اس‌ام بود و کرایتریا های تشخیصی
ولی خوبی کتاب این بود هم یه خلاصه از هر بیماری داشت
هم ملاک های دی‌اس‌ام رو
هم یکم از ای‌سی‌دی رو
هم دیفرنشال‌دایگنوسیس ها رو داده بود و یکم خلاصه برا رول‌اوتشون
و سایز کتاب هم مناسب بود.

بخش جذاب روانم تموم شد ولی مطمئنم این کتابمو نگه میدارم و کلی ازش استفاده خواهم کرد.

book was recommended by a coworker and I was surprised at how easy of read it was! very detailed and thought out! would recommend, but not for the plot just the experience.

It is what it is. A necessary tool for diagnosing and developing strategies for treatment. I believe that this should be used like a dictionary and not a treatment manual. At its worst, it can be used to imprison clients in rigid categories. At its best, it allows clinicians to have a base to jump from when imaginatively engineering interventions for growth and health.

Great reference book to the full Manual, but lacks some very important information that the full manual contains. I recommend the spiral bound version ad please realize this is NOT an in depth manual for each DO.

Makes me miss my ex

La DSM-5 ha sido una buena guia para aprender sobre distintos trastornos mentales, siendo bastante completo y entendible. Sin embargo la repetición de palabras claves y mismos textos repetidos una y otra vez, lo hace un poco deficiente. Y comprendo perfectamente que unos sintomas pueden aparecer en varios trastornos, pero lo ideal sería decir lo mismo de una forma distinta para evitar el excesivo uso de palabras repetidas. Del resto de cosas me han parecido muy buenas y han especificado muy bien cada uno de los trastornos mentales.

Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5TM by the American Psychiatric Association.
This is a reference book but I bought it to read for fun. I enjoy reading many textbooks for fun because they are well structured and consistent. You can read them without pressure the good part is there’s no exam, so no stress! I want to learn about mental disorders and this book serves me well. Some disorders are very close to others but are not the same. You may need to use Google and complementary resources alongside this book.

This is the small pocket size version of the DSM-5 which just gives the basic diagnostic criteria and the basic ICD-10 codes. It's useful for filling out forms.

[Diane Piszker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to navigate. Handy.

La misma crítica que para la obra original. Aunque este cumple con lo que promete.

Damn this book is just like me fr

No sé cómo explicar que me haya leído esto sin ser psicóloga (aún). Gracias por eliminar el síndrome de Asperger, ya iba siendo hora, porque para incluir animaladas ya existen los libros de autoayuda

Some changes to the DSM make sense.
Others, less so.

[Carolynne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I gave it four stars because of the spiral binding, which makes it easy to read.

I don't think it is well organized.

This was super helpful for when I didn't have the full DSM at my disposal!
