DSM-5 Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis | by James Morrison | 1st Edition | Paperback

DSM-5 Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis

Before there was DSM-5-TR Made Easy, there was this: James Morrison's original DSM-5 Made Easy: The Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis, the book that taught a generation of clinicians how to actually use the DSM. Every diagnosis is restated in everyday language, with a prototype description and a case vignette that shows you how it presents in a real patient.

Morrison's writing is warm, direct and a little funny, which is rare in a diagnostic reference. He's especially good on differential diagnosis – the 'what else could this be?' thinking that separates careful clinicians from box-tickers.

What's Inside

• Every DSM-5 diagnosis explained in clear, jargon-free language
• 130+ case vignettes showing how disorders present in real patients
• Essential-features summaries, differential-diagnosis guidance and coding tips
• Trusted by instructors as a course companion to the DSM-5
• By James Morrison, MD, a leading authority on psychiatric interviewing and diagnosis

Who It's For

Still a favourite in graduate programs that teach from DSM-5, and a great buy if you want Morrison's approach at a lower price than the TR edition. Note that the criteria here reflect DSM-5 (2013), not the 2022 text revision.
