Diagnosing patients requires the ability to elicit information from the patient, identify symptoms and recognize patterns, determine possible causes, and then make an accurate diagnosis. Experienced mental health clinicians recognize that differential diagnosis is an art, as well as a science, and welcome tools to assist them. The DSM-5[trademark] Handbook of Differential Diagnosis helps clinicians and students learning the process of psychiatric diagnosis improve their skill in formulating a comprehensive differential diagnosis by providing a variety of approaches, including a six-step diagnostic framework, 29 bottom-up "decision trees," and 66 differential diagnosis tables for use once a tentative diagnosis has been made. The handbook includes the DSM-5[trademark] classification to facilitate coding and to provide an overview of all of the DSM-5[trademark] diagnoses that must be considered in formulating a differential diagnosis. DSM-5[trademark] Handbook of Differential Diagnosis offers a solution to differential diagnosis that recognizes the complexity of human personality and the structural utility of the DSM-5[trademark] classification. Clinicians and students learning psychiatric diagnosis faced with this most crucial task will find this handbook of enormous benefit. Review: Great help for diagnosing disorders and I definitely recommend this. - The human body is so very differential in and of itself. This text definitely helps to look at the full scope of other comorbidities that can be seen with or mistaken for the primary. This book does a great job of naming the hallmarks of other disorders to make diagnosing a little less complicated. Review: Review of the DSM-5TM - The DSM-5TM is great; it is helpful in giving the symptommalogy in detail, so that I can connect to the diagnosis which most fits the patient's condition. Thank you for this reference book. It's very good, and I will be using it for a long time.

handy handbook
as a therapist this book speeds up the process of diagnosis mostly by helping me see what does not meet the client's symptoms. I recommend it for anyone struggling with the the size of the DSM 5.

A wonderful supplement to the DSM5
A handy reference tool! Saves time and/or confirms a diagnostic assessment done the long way. Beats lugging a DSM-5 everywhere, but supplements it beautifully. A convenient tool to carry...

Need For Medical Tests
This book is good because it reaffirms that instead of just prescribing dangerous drugs, psychiatrists should run standard medical tests. Many of the symptoms of which patients complain are caused by endocrine, allergy or other physical ailments that are not treated with psychiatric drugs but just worsen.

Clear and practical decision trees
Easy to use and well supported if you are only looking for causes, this is a good place to start, but you also get a diagnostic framework and diagnostic tables. It is perfect for reporting helping to articulate a clear pathway to diagnosis.

Didn't fit description. Should not have been sold.
Pp 308 and 309 had black greasy finger/thumb prints on them. There were many pages in the middle of the book where the printing had failed and was so light that most of it was illegible. Poor condition - definitely not new, though the exterior of the book looked okay in the photo and was okay in reality. Not worth $70 so I returned it.
