Paperback : $150.00
With at least one case presentation for each of the mental disorders catalogued in DSM-5-and multiple cases for nearly half of the disorders-Learning DSM-5 by Case Example has been meticulously designed to aid practitioners and students of all levels in psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and psychiatric nursing develop internalized prototypes of DSM-5 disorders by first describing each disorder in relatable terms and subsequently illustrating how these symptom constellations manifest in real-life settings using clinical case material.
The nearly 200 cases featured in this guide are drawn from the clinical experience of well over 100 clinicians, many of whom are well-known experts in particular areas of diagnosis and treatment. Sensitive to the fact that one of the hallmarks of mental disorders is the wide range of presentations that are encountered in a real-world setting, many of the disorders described include multiple cases that vary in symptom presentation, gender, age, clinical course, associated impairment in psychosocial functioning, and developmental factors, thus giving readers an appreciation for the heterogeneity typical of these disorders. Each case is complemented by a discussion that elaborates the ways in which the case conforms to the DSM-5 prototype or highlights those features of the case that illustrate the heterogeneity.
With definitions of potentially unfamiliar medical and psychiatric terms, Learning DSM-5 by Case Example is an accessible resource for readers of all disciplines. And because it guides the reader through the organizational structure of DSM-5, it is also an ideal reference for courses on psychopathology or abnormal psychology.

Nothing brings a construct better to life than a vivid example, and
this text explodes with wonderfully instructive illustrations of
DSM-5 disorders. This text will provide outstanding supplemental
reading for courses across the mental health professions." - Thomas

"For the newcomer to mental disorder classification, and even for
seasoned clinicians, DSM-5 can seem daunting in its complexity and
depth. Fortunately, Drs. First, Skodol, Williams, and Spitzer have
provided a marvelously rich compendium of case material that helps
the detailed criteria on the pages of DSM-5 come alive." - Robert
F. Krueger Ph.D., Hathaway Distinguished Professor, Distinguished
McKnight University Professor, and Director of Clinical Training,
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota
"In this superb casebook, diagnostic categories jump off the page
in the context of brief but vivid descriptions of real patients.
Continuing and improving on the strong tradition of previous
editions of this casebook, various case studies are provided
illustrating the different ways in which patients might meet
criteria for one DSM-5 disorder or another, and unlike previous
editions, the case examples align very closely with each chapter in
DSM-5. Everyone teaching or learning about psychopathology would
benefit from this excellent resource." - David H. Barlow Ph.D.,
ABPP, Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, Boston
University, Founder and Director Emeritus, Center for Anxiety and
Related Disorders
"I cannot imagine how new students could get an understanding of
our diagnostic system without this book. Truly a must read for
teachers, students, and practitioners of medicine, nursing,
psychology, social work, occupational and physical therapy, and
others who interact with persons suffering from mental disorders."
- A. John Rush, Professor Emeritus, Duke-National University of
Singapore Graduate Medical School
