This new
edition of the American Psychiatric Association s Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), used by clinicians and researchers to
diagnose and classify mental disorders, is the product of more than 10 years of
effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of mental health.
Their dedication and hard work have yielded an authoritative volume that
defines and classifies mental disorders in order to improve diagnoses,
treatment, and research. This manual, which creates a common language for clinicians
involved in the diagnosis of mental disorders, includes concise and specific
criteria intended to facilitate an objective assessment of symptom
presentations in a variety of clinical settings 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 critical resource for clinical practice
available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers of all
orientations. The information contained in the manual is also valuable to other
physicians and health professionals, including psychologists, counselors,
nurses, and occupational and rehabilitation therapists, as well as social
workers and forensic and legal specialists. DSM-5 is the most definitive
resource for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders.
