Présentation de l'éditeur
Grounded in author Allen Frances's extensive clinical experience, this comprehensive yet concise guide helps the busy clinician find the right psychiatric diagnosis and avoid the many pitfalls that lead to errors. Covering every disorder routinely encountered in clinical practice, Frances provides the ICD-9-CM codes and (where feasible) ICD-10-CM codes required for billing, a useful screening question, a colorful descriptive prototype, lucid diagnostic tips, and a discussion of other disorders that must be ruled out. The book closes with an index of the most common presenting symptoms, listing possible diagnoses that must be considered for each. Frances was instrumental in the development of past editions of the DSM and provides helpful cautions on questionable aspects of DSM-5.
The revised edition features ICD-10-CM codes where feasible throughout the chapters, plus a Crosswalk to ICD-10-CM codes in the Appendix. The Appendix with links to coding resources and periodic updates can also be accessed at the companion website.

An excellent antidote to over diagnosis. Please be advised this is a professional book. Members of the public looking for answers to distressing experiences will not find solutions. It is aimed at clinicians mostly, and perhaps public policy makers. I've been a Clinical Psychologist for nearly 24 years, and have observed that everything has become a disease, which in turn has a drug specific treatment. Medication is helpful some of the time, as does reassurance that a situation is a reasonable response to life stressors. Dr. Frances makes this point well. To my fellow clinicians bewildered by DSM 5, I recommend you read this book, and place it on the shelf next to DSM 4 or 5, and your ICD 10 code book.

With all the hoopla and worries about dsm 5, its no wonder a book like this was made. It makes understanding all the changes in DSM 5 easier. This is a must have for any clinician, whether they are new to the field or a professional. A must have. I think in time the price of this will go up becuase of its wide use.
