DSM-5-TR Self-Exam Questions: Test Questions for the Diagnostic Criteria elucidates the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision, through self-exam questions designed to test the reader's knowledge of the new edition's diagnostic criteria. Mental health professionals, ranging from clinicians and students to psychiatric nurses and social workers, will benefit from this substantive text's 400-plus questions. This book is a "must have" for anyone seeking to fully understand the content of DSM-5-TR.
Some of the book's most beneficial features include the following:
• Self-exam questions and cases designed to test the reader's knowledge of diagnoses and diagnostic criteria (e.g., the new diagnosis, prolonged grief disorder).
• Questions about selected conceptual components of Section III in DSM-5-TR—including the online assessment measures, Cultural Formulation Interview, and alternative model of personality disorders—enabling readers to learn about important diagnostic considerations and tools, as well as potential future diagnostic approaches.
• Short answers that explain the rationale for each correct answer, with page references to content in DSM-5-TR for further information.
• Answers containing important information on the diagnostic classification, criteria sets, diagnoses, codes, severity, dimension of diagnosis, and considerations of culture, age, and gender.
Straightforward, practical, and illustrative, DSM-5-TR Self-Exam Questions: Test Questions for the Diagnostic Criteria will successfully test and broaden the DSM-5-TR knowledge of all mental health professionals.
The DSM is arguably the most influential book for categorical diagnosis in psychiatry, and this book is an excellent companion that allows one to challenge oneself to understand the intricacies in its diagnostic structure. As opposed to just reading the DSM itself and understanding it from an academic perspective, this companion challenges readers to apply DSM categorization to common vignettes to understand differential criteria. This book would be a worthy addition to the bookshelf of a broad audience, right next to their copy of the DSM-5-TR. This updated edition certainly justifies replacing the previous edition; the DSM-5-TR changes with the times, and as such its companion books must as well. Not only does it update the diagnoses, but it also has questions that specifically focus on differences between older editions and the current edition.
