description: In this indispensable book master diagnostician James Morrison presents the spectrum of diagnoses in DSM-5 in an accessible engaging clinically useful format. Demystifying DSM-5 criteria without sacrificing accuracy the book includes ICD-10-CM codes for each disorder. More than 130 detailed case vignettes illustrate typical patient presentations; down-to-earth discussions of each case demonstrate how to arrive at the diagnosis and rule out other likely possibilities. Providing a wealth of diagnostic pointers Morrison writes with the wisdom and wit that made his guide to the prior DSM a valued resource for hundreds of thousands of clinicians and students. His website (www.guilford.com/jm) offers additional discussion and resources related to psychiatric diagnosis and DSM-5. See also Morrison's Diagnosis Made Easier Second Edition which offers principles and decision trees for integrating diagnostic information from multiple sources; The First Interview Fourth Edition which presents a framework for conducting thorough empathic initial evaluations; and The Mental Health Clinician's Workbook which uses in-depth cases and carefully constructed exercises to build the reader's diagnostic skills.
