Von der hinteren Coverseite

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—drawn from the real-world practice of a diverse group of experts—for each mental disorder included in DSM-5-TR. Each chapter offers an overview of the manifestation of the various diagnoses in each disorder class; a table summarizing the key characteristics of individual disorders; and a rich discussion on the hallmark features, prevalence, and common comorbidities of each diagnosis, among other topics.

This edition also features four new, cutting-edge cases from the Conditions for Further Study section in DSM-5-TR and the ICD-11, including Internet Gaming 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.
