Designed for interviewers at all levels of experience, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam is the clinician's companion for using DSM-5-TR in diagnostic interviews. Both experienced clinicians and those still in training will benefit from the thoughtful, yet practical, fashion in which DSM-5 revisions are reviewed and incorporated into the 30-minute diagnostic interview.
This guide is written for all levels of experience, since every clinician needs to master both DSM-5-TR criteria and how to conduct a fruitful diagnostic interview. The book:
• Provides insight into the process of establishing a therapeutic alliance, which remains the goal of any psychiatric encounter, even one as brief as the diagnostic interview.
• Offers an extensive set of resources to enhance understanding. These include a brief, easy-to-use summary of DSM-5-TR disorders; the Mental Status Examination and a psychiatric glossary; suggestions for mental health treatment planning; guidance for the ABPN Clinical Skills Evaluation; DSM-5-TR-related diagnostic tools and scales; and coverage of alternative diagnostic systems and rating scales.
• Provides a sequential framework for generating a differential diagnosis, using a six-step approach, that will help clinicians develop their clinical decision-making skills and ensure that they consider the many and interrelated causes of mental disorders.
Direct, practical, and informative, The Pocket Guide to the DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Exam will enable readers to efficiently and effectively employ DSM-5 as part of a comprehensive diagnostic interview.
This book guides those who use the DSM-5-TR, regardless of level of experience in the field. The book was designed to be utilized in conjunction with the DSM-5-TR for the diagnostic exam for beginner or experienced interviewers. The beginning of the book stresses the importance of a therapeutic alliance and the well-being of the people we meet as the reason for the diagnostic exam. The main focus of the book is to have a DSM-5-TR class with criteria and then provide example questions and follow-up questions that allow for open-ended questioning and to facilitate building a therapeutic alliance with patients. This could involve screening questions for a category and then follow-up questions for specific inclusion criteria.
This book is well organized, informative, and was created for efficient use as a pocket guide. As the diagnostic interview is essential to the practice of psychiatrists, this book is a significant companion for those who utilize the DSM-5-TR for diagnosis. Readers will have more and varied questions to add to their interview index. This can be used as a quick reference to review criteria and questions in order to lead to an improved diagnostic exam for people experiencing mental distress.
