This new edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders, is the product of more than 10 years of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health. Their dedication and hard work have yielded an authoritative volume that defines and classifies mental disorders in order to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research. The criteria are concise and explicit, intended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom presentations in a variety of clinical settings―inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital, consultation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care. New features and enhancements make DSM-5 easier to use across all settings: • The chapter organization reflects a lifespan approach, with disorders typically diagnosed in childhood (such as neurodevelopmental disorders) at the beginning of the manual, and those more typical of older adults (such as neurocognitive disorders) placed at the end. Also included are age-related factors specific to diagnosis. • The latest findings in neuroimaging and genetics have been integrated into each disorder along with gender and cultural considerations.• The revised organizational structure recognizes symptoms that span multiple diagnostic categories, providing new clinical insight in diagnosis. • Specific criteria have been streamlined, consolidated, or clarified to be consistent with clinical practice (including the consolidation of autism disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder into autism spectrum disorder; the streamlined classification of bipolar and depressive disorders; the restructuring of substance use disorders for consistency and clarity; and the enhanced specificity for major and mild neurocognitive disorders).• Dimensional assessments for research and validation of clinical results have been provided.• Both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes are included for each disorder, and the organizational structure is consistent with the new ICD-11 in development. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive, current, and critical resource for clinical practice available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers of all orientations. The information contained in the manual is also valuable to other physicians and health professionals, including psychologists, counselors, nurses, and occupational and rehabilitation therapists, as well as social workers and forensic and legal specialists.

There should be a FREE online reference model for clients to defend themselves
Owning one of these is extremely helpful, because psychiatrists often wander astray of official definitions. I'm not a psychiatrist. I have had to deal with psychiatrists and one of the most appalling things that I encounter is their failure to do research. As such I think it's good to come up with a proper scientific classification and standardization system. I'm happy that there is such a thing as the DSM-5 guide, but I do have to note, due to its history that it may suffer some amount of prejudice, also considering the fact that in previous versions homosexuality and other non-harmful and non-selfish behaviors were a part of it. As long as it isn't harmful to anyone or selfish, it isn't a disorder or illness. The fact that people are attributed mental illnesses to degrees is to me a step forward. Some people have a bad flue, others just sneeze. It's the same with mental illnesses and people should learn to see it that way. The one thing I don't agree with, is that there isn't an official online reference of mental disorders and illnesses for people that have to deal with psychiatrists. A lot of psychiatrists in the Netherlands believe that what their a priori belief-system represents is the truth. This isn't necessarily true. For instance in forensic science it's widely known that psychiatric profilers tend to be wrong more, than that they are right. This is a problem. There should be a free online reference, with clear rules and procedures, illustrating to those that have to deal with psychiatry, what conditions need to be met for anyone to be diagnosed with specific disorders. It's too easy for psychiatrists to diagnose people with some kind of disorder or mental illness, without clients being able to check or defend themselves against what they say. We do have rights, and these need to be acknowledged. With the current price, the book is too expensive for most of us that have had to deal with psychiatry. There should be a FREE online reference model as described.

¡Precio!
Cuando compré este libro de texto (que todos los que nos dedicamos a algo relacionado con la salud mental debemos tener) por primera vez fue en un Barnes & Noble en NYC. Ahí ya me costó 240 dólares. Muchos podrán decir “bueno, ya hay la versión en e-book pero yo siento que los libros tan importantes como éste pues prefiero tenerlo “en vivo”…. Además lo necesitaba en inglés ya que mis clases eran en inglés. Me tuve que jubilar por razones de salud y doné el mío. Cuando vi el precio en Amazon de más o menos 35 dólares (lo conseguí pasta dura en 750 pesos!) pensé seguro ya viene el típico DSM V-R o algo así. El DSM IV tardó muchos años en ser revisado y luego en durar otros años más en ser R: revisado. Por lo tanto dudo que saquen éste R en un buen tiempo. El libro es bueno simplemente porque si se quiere dar un diagnóstico en psicopatología debe cumplir con los criterios del libro. Si no está ahí, se trata de uno de esos diagnósticos de “chocolate“, de pop psychology o de la revista Cosmo. Así que un libro tan importante y necesario , en pasta dura (el mío era pasta blanda), de prácticamente 5,000$ a 750$, pues se siente por un lado felicidad y por otro que has gastado los mejores 750$ en tu vida. Lástima que llegó la pasta exterior desgarrada pero al final no importa tanto
