Learning DSM-5-TR® by Case Example

Engaging case studies drawn from the real-world practice of a diverse group of experts bring DSM-5-TRto life in this exhaustive new volume. Designed to familiarize undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and psychiatric nursing with the diagnosis of psychopathology, this guide is equally useful for experienced clinicians seeking to improve their understanding of the new concepts and terminology in DSM-5-TR.

Organized according to the order of the 19 diagnostic groupings as they appear in DSM-5-TR, this book includes at least one case for each unique mental disorder listed in DSM-5-TR. In each richly detailed chapter, readers will find:

• An overview of the manifestation of the various disorders included in the corresponding disorder class• A table summarizing key characteristics of each individual disorder• Comprehensive sections on the individual disorders that describe hallmark features, prevalence data, clinical course, and commonly occurring disorders, among other topics

Multiple cases are included for more than one-third of the DSM disorders to illustrate heterogeneity in the presentation. For example, there are six different cases of Bipolar I Disorder; these include cases with mood-congruent and mood-incongruent psychotic features, with catatonia, with rapid cycling, with development during treatment with an antidepressant, and with late-life onset.

Distinctive to this edition are four new, cutting-edge cases (illustrating Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome, Internet Gaming Disorder, Olfactory Reference Disorder, and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder) drawn from the "Conditions for Further Study" chapter in DSM-5-TR and from the current edition of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases, 11th revision.

The book concludes with an alphabetical index of case names and a comprehensive index of diagnoses with their related cases for ease of reference. Unmatched in its scope and detail, Learning DSM-5-TR by Case Example is an essential resource for all those looking to translate the latest diagnostic concepts and criteria to real-world practice.
