Synopsis

Engaging case studies drawn from the real-world practice of a diverse group of experts bring DSM-5-TR to life in this exhaustive new volume. Designed to familiarize undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and psychiatric nursing with the diagnosis of psychopathology, this guide is equally useful for experienced clinicians seeking to improve their understanding of the new concepts and terminology in DSM-5-TR. Organized according to the order of the 19 diagnostic groupings as they appear in DSM-5-TR, this book includes at least one case for each mental disorder listed in DSM-5-TR. In each richly detailed chapter, readers will find: • An overview of the manifestation of the various diagnoses in the corresponding disorder class • A table summarizing key characteristics of each individual disorder • Comprehensive sections on the individual diagnoses that describe hallmark features, prevalence data, clinical course, and common comorbidities, among other topics Where specific factors—including severity, course, and symptom presentation—affect the manifestation of a disorder, the book includes multiple cases that illustrate that diagnostic heterogeneity. Unique to this edition are four new, cutting-edge cases: two that are included in the Conditions for Further Study section in DSM-5-TR and an additional two included in the current edition of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision. The book concludes with an alphabetical index of case names and a comprehensive index of diagnoses with their related cases for ease of reference. Unmatched in its scope and detail, Learning DSM-5-TR by Case Example is an essential resource for all those looking to translate the latest diagnostic criteria to real world practice.

From the Back Cover

Taking an innovative, case-based approach to DSM-5-TR, this new volume provides comprehensive, practical guidance to understanding the latest diagnostic criteria and applying them effectively to practice.

Organized according to the order of the 19 diagnostic groupings as they appear in DSM-5-TR, this manual features at least one case (and often multiple cases) for each unique mental disorder included in DSM-5-TR—drawn from the real-world practice of a diverse group of experts. Each chapter offers an overview of the manifestation of the various disorders in each disorder class; a table summarizing the key characteristics of individual disorders; and a rich discussion of the hallmark features, prevalence, clinical course, and commonly co-occurring conditions of each disorder, among other topics.

This edition also features four new, cutting-edge cases from the "Conditions for Further Study" chapter in DSM-5-TRand from ICD-11, including Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome and Internet Gaming Disorder, as well as Olfactory Reference Disorder and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder, respectively.

Expansive in scope and meticulous in its level of detail, Learning DSM-5-TR by Case Example is as relevant for students and trainees learning about the diagnosis of psychopathology as it is for experienced clinicians seeking to improve their understanding of the new concepts and terminology in DSM-5-TR.
