This volume has been updated to reflect the changes made in the DSM-IV Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) published in 2000 Accessibly written and easy to use, this comprehensive book covers everything professionals and students need to know about DSM-IV.
Following the same format as DSM-IV, the text presents every diagnosis. For each it includes case examples, a detailed analysis of each case, and a clear explanation of how to arrive at the diagnosis and how to rule out other possibilities. It also offers 'tips' on how to diagnose and describes in detail how to do a differential diagnosis. Essential for all mental health practitioners studying for their licensing exams, this hands-on resource will be valued by psychiatrists, residents, psychologists, marriage and family counselors, social workers, and anyone who needs to know about DSM-IV.
"Compared to the 900-page DSM-IV, [this] book has simpler language, useful explanations of psychiatric terms, chatty diagnostic tips', and simplified criteria lists for the disorders. Unlike the DSM, which was put toge ther by a committee with the goal of providing standards for research as well as clinical practice, DSM-IV Made Easy was designed to be accessible to students and experienced clinicians from all the mental health professions....The tone of the book is conversational, personal, and lively." --Clinical Social Work Journal
"....Morrison's book is like a good workshop explaining the DSM-IV: useful simplifications and practical tips. He also offers cases to help learn the diagnostic criteria. There is a nice appendix which shows how general medical disorders may impact different psychiatric diagnoses. There is an eight page double column index. This would make a good textbook for training mental health professionals." --Clinical Gerontologist
