Not much new...,
By "mr_arch_stanton" (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, , Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR(tm)) (Paperback)
Like other reviewers, I agree that if you own DSM-IV (burgundy cover), there is absolutely no reason for you to purchase the DSM-IV-TR (silver cover). Might as well wait for DSM-V (won't that be a treat). If you are not a mental health professional or graduate student, I can't imagine why you would want to own this book. It is essentially a compilation of symptom and behavior checklists that help clinicians make reliable diagnoses of mental disorders.I would recommend strongly (for both professionals, students, and the lay public), DSM-IV Made Easy by James Morrison. Morrison's book makes the DSM come alive. He illustrates technical points well, and provides interesting case examples that make you think of people when you read the diagnosis, not just symptoms.

It's the Mainstay,
By Thomas( Doc Savage 45) (St. James, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, , Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR(tm)) (Paperback)
I am a psychologist and I have been practicing for about 30 years. I remember the little DSM II. It was the size of the companion small book that can be purchased. The DSM has a history. There was actually a time when psychologists and psychiatrists were considering 2 different texts. Reading the reviewers was interesting as this is my tool to differentiate what my clients present. It is continually being improved and that is the focus of TR. There are subtle differences and clarifications. This book is the basis of identifying the specifics of what we are working with. The DSM IV was a collaborative effort to acurately represent international, cultural, and biological differences. My clients don't care but some don't know that an adjustment disorder of mood is different than dysthymia or depression which is again different from Bi Polar disorder. I probably wouldn't read it if I didn't do this kind of work. Yet it may be important to people with diagnosed illness. It can assist the capable reader in being an informed consumer.

Informative, but don't buy it if you have the original DSM-4,
By Lee Markowitz (Yorktown Heights, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, , Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR(tm)) (Paperback)
The text-revised version is virtually identical to the 1994 version of the DSM-IV and not worth buying if you have the 1994 version. Along with the DSM-IV, the DSM-IV Text Revised version is, however, an informative book that provides good introductory information, especially in the "Diagnostic Features" section, about a wide variety of mental disorders. A problem of the manual, in my opinion, is its use of a categorical classification system while ignoring the dimensional nature of psychological phenomena. Lee J. Markowitz, Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada)
