Reviews"[Morrison offers] useful simplifications and practical tips. He also offers cases to help learn the diagnostic criteria….This would make a good textbook for training mental health professionals."-- Clinical Gerontologist, "Accessible to students and experienced clinicians from all the mental health professions.....The tone of the book is conversational, personal, and lively….The reader is 'walked through' the diagnostic process in a way that, especially to the student, would make evaluation seem manageable and masterable."-- Clinical Social Work Journal, "Excellent. Morrison describes the DSM-5 disorders in an accessible way, illustrates them with memorable case examples, and give useful guidance on how to assess patients. This book should be required reading for all who are training to work in the mental health professions."--Alan Carr, PhD, School of Psychology, University College Dublin, Ireland "This informative, comprehensive book offers a well-organized guide for navigating the DSM-5. Each chapter features a quick summary of the diagnoses discussed, steps in the diagnostic process, useful tables, and clinical vignettes. Whether used by practicing clinicians or as a supplemental resource in the classroom, the book provides a more manageable approach to the nearly thousand-page DSM-5. It truly lives up to its title."--Tamara Hodges, EdD, Department of Educational Psychology, Baylor University , "Accessible to students and experienced clinicians from all the mental health professions....The tone of the book is conversational, personal, and lively....The reader is 'walked through' the diagnostic process in a way that, especially to the student, would make evaluation seem manageable and masterable." (on the prior edition), "Excellent. Morrison describes the DSM-5 disorders in an accessible way, illustrates them with memorable case examples, and gives useful guidance on how to assess patients. This book should be required reading for all who are training to work in the mental health professions."--Alan Carr, PhD, School of Psychology, University College Dublin, Ireland "This informative, comprehensive book offers a well-organized guide for navigating DSM-5.

Whether used by practicing clinicians or as a supplemental resource in the classroom, the book provides a more manageable approach to the nearly thousand-page DSM-5. It truly lives up to its title."--Tamara Hodges, EdD, Department of Educational Psychology, Baylor University "An extremely useful and forward-looking work. Morrison has put life into DSM-5 criteria with his strategic use of strong vignettes and important tips for using psychiatric codes, including both ICD-10-CM and ICD-9-CM codes. A real contribution to the thorny problem of constructing meaningful descriptions of patients' difficulties."--Jane Close Conoley, PhD, Dean and Professor of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara "DSM-5 can be overwhelming, especially for those new to the field, but reading Morrison is like sitting with and listening to a wise and seasoned clinician sharing his thinking processes. Over 130 superbly constructed cases show exactly how Morrison applies the DSM-5 rules and logic. The cases bring the criteria sets and checklists of DSM to life. If you want to learn to think the way DSM-5 does, this is your best guide. It is suitable as a text in introduction-to-the-profession courses in clinical fields. The explanations of how to use the book are excellent guides for teachers and students and will greatly enhance learning."--Edward L. Zuckerman, PhD, author of Clinician's Thesaurus "A terrific resource for experienced practitioners and graduate students alike. Clinical vignettes bring each diagnosis to life and help the user to arrive at a differential diagnosis more easily. This book is much more readable than DSM-5, and belongs on the bookshelf of every mental health agency. I recommend it most highly."--Bruce A. Thyer, PhD, LCSW, College of Social Work, Florida State University , "Excellent.

Morrison's updated classic is the book I will now recommend. Following the outline of DSM-5, Morrison gives a brief overview of each diagnosis, describes its essential features, and presents a relevant case vignette. I particularly like this method of teaching from a case level. Graduate students, new professionals, and even seasoned clinicians will benefit from Morrison's clinical experience and practice wisdom. If you are searching for a practical, comprehensive, and easy-to-use book on DSM-5, look no further--this is your book."--Mark J. Brenner, PhD, ACSW, LICSW, Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator, School of Social Work, Bridgewater State University , This book is an invaluable guide to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) , and to psychiatric disorders and their diagnosis.
