DSM-5-TR: A Concise and Comprehensive Guide to Psychiatric Diagnosis based on the DSM-5-TR: Desk Reference (DSM-5-TR Study Aids)

Great resource for clinicians

This is a great companion to the full DSM-5-TR!

I searched for a DSM-5 quick reference tool that I could use throughout my workday. This DSM-5 book by Medical Creations was just what I was looking for. Each psychiatric condition is listed in an easy-to-find and easy-to-read format. Diagnostic criteria are summarized in a bulleted format. I found the listed corresponding ICD-10 code especially useful when charting patient notes. I found the final chapter especially interesting, as I was unfamiliar with many of the covered conditions. Chapter 20 is titled "Cultural Diagnoses and Conditions for Further Study, Interviewing". This chapter includes disorders such as caffeine use disorder and internet gaming disorder. The book is lightweight and nicely fits into a white coat pocket. It is a great resource for both students who are just learning about psychiatric conditions and for experienced healthcare providers. I highly recommend!

i use this all the time for on the go for home visits. super helpful for immediate psychoeducation with clients to explain their diagnoses reflecting their symptoms.

The DSM-5-TR Desk Reference from Medical Creations is a fantastic addition to my professional resources. It arrived quickly and was surprisingly affordable for its quality. Despite being paperback, the durable cover promises longevity, making it a reliable companion for years to come. The book's size is perfect for quick consultations and fits neatly on any bookshelf. The writing is clear and professional, striking a balance that's both informative and accessible. The layout is intuitive, facilitating easy navigation and swift access to specific details. Clear fonts and consistent formatting enhance readability throughout. Overall, this desk reference is a fantastic resource for mental health professionals. Its concise format is a practical solution to the bulkiness of the full DSM-5-TR, ensuring essential information is always at hand. Highly recommended!

No more surprise very useful book. You can even use it and ask clients about their symptoms to confirm the suspected diagnosis.

I have the full blown one I keep in my home office, and have another position where I don’t diagnose often, but keep this guy as a quick reference. My second position is working with mostly people who aren’t MH professionals, and this is just helpful for a general overview/fast refresher

Reads as it should, good price.
