The DSM-5 Handbook of Differential Diagnosis is the preeminent guide to differential diagnosis for both clinicians and students learning psychiatric diagnosis. Based closely on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, it offers a rich selection of perspectives in an easy-to-use format.
The author, an expert on psychiatric diagnosis and assessment, recognizes that psychological distress cannot be reduced to a rubric. The clinician must have empathy, listening skills, the ability to identify symptoms and contextualize them, and a familiarity with the body of knowledge represented by DSM The handbook brings these critical skills together in a well-written, accessible, and reader-friendly volume that is grounded in the latest research and standard of practice.
DSM-5 Handbook of Differential Diagnosis provides a comprehensive overview of the process of diagnosing DSM-5 disorders while serving as a reference guide to assist in the differential diagnosis of individual patients. The handbook is an invaluable addition to the DSM-5 collection and an important contribution to the mental health profession. DSM-5 Clinical Cases presents patient cases that exemplify the mental disorders categorized in the newly released DSM-5, bringing DSM-5 alive for teachers and students of psychiatry, psychology, social work, nursing, and related mental health and healthcare fields.
Cases are cross-referenced with DSM-5 and help the reader understand diagnostic concepts, including symptoms, severity, comorbidities, age of onset and development, dimensionality across disorders, and gender and cultural implications. Case authors were selected for their expertise in the disorder described in the case. For ease in identifying specific cases, case titles are clinically relevant, based on the primary complaint, and identify the DSM-5 diagnosis described.
Features may include history of present illness, family psychiatric history, medical history, mental status exam results, DSM-5 diagnostic features, lab and physical findings, and a summary. This approach is especially helpful since few cases in real-life are unambiguous. In addition, those studying for specialty examinations will find reviewing the cases very useful. The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5 explores all revisions to the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual, and shows clinicians how they can best apply the strong points and shortcomings of psychiatry's most contentious resource.
Written by a celebrated professor ofpsychiatry, this reader-friendly book uses evidence-based critiques and new research to point out where DSM-5 is right, where it is wrong, and where the jury's still out.
Along the way, The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5 sifts through the many public controversies and clinical debatessurrounding the drafting of the manual and shows how they inform a modern understanding of psychiatric illness, diagnosis and treatment. Others in the mental health community were bitterly opposed to including an illness that was in the previous version, oppositional defiant disorder ODD.
The diagnosis involves children and teens who talk back to parents and teachers, who sometimes refuse to obey authority figures, and who lose their tempers easily, labeling that child or teen "mentally ill" unnecessarily. What was not kept from the previous version was a diagnosis for pediatric bipolar disorder also called child-onset bipolar disorder, or COBPD. Instead, a new diagnosis was created called disruptive mood dysregulation disorder DMDD.
This disorder focuses on frequent, severe temper outbursts and overall irritability or anger between them. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder can be diagnosed along with major depressive disorder MDD , but it can not be comorbid with bipolar disorder. Thomas Insel didn't appear to like the DSM-5's approach, at least initially.
When the DSM-5 was released in , he said that going forward, "NIMH will be re-orienting its research away from DSM categories" with the objective of developing a system that includes genetics, biomarkers, brain scans, and other physical aspects of and testing for mental illnesses. However, just two weeks later, a press release written jointly by Insel and Jeffrey A. Lieberman, M. In particular, the press release said:. However, NIMH still has plans to go forward with developing a more physically based diagnostic system, although the agency acknowledges that this is a long-term project.
So while NIMH acknowledges DSM-5's utility for the purpose of current clinical diagnosis, future research in the field will need to be "based on dimensions of observable behavior and neurobiological measures" in order to qualify for NIMH grant funding. Ever wonder what your personality type means?
