The new edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is the result of over 10 years of effort by hundreds of international experts in various aspects of mental health. This comprehensive and authoritative volume defines and classifies mental disorders to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research.
The DSM-5 creates a common language for clinicians involved in diagnosing mental disorders, with concise and specific criteria designed to facilitate objective assessments of symptoms in various clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital, consultation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive, current, and essential resource for clinical practice available to today’s mental health clinicians and researchers across all orientations. The manual is also invaluable to other health professionals, such as psychologists, counselors, nurses, occupational and rehabilitation therapists, social workers, and forensic and legal specialists. DSM-5 remains the definitive resource for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders.
