Dsm-5 (Tm) Essentials: The Savvy Clinician'S Guide To The Changes In Criteria

Arranged in the same sequence as the DSM-5, this reference tool covers what has changed from the DSM-IV, what the change means for diagnosis, and the implication of these changes on the selection of effective, evidence-based treatment. Reichenberg also covers the major changes to the DSM-5 such as the replacement of the multi-axial system, the developmental and lifespan approach, and cultural and gender considerations.
