This new edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-5), used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose
and classify mental disorders, is the product of more than 10 years
of effort by hundreds of international experts in all aspects of
mental health. Their dedication and hard work have yielded an
authoritative volume that defines and classifies mental disorders
in order to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research. The
criteria are concise and explicit, intended to facilitate an
objective assessment of symptom presentations in a variety of
clinical settings-inpatient, outpatient, partial hospital,
consultation-liaison, clinical, private practice, and primary care.
New features and enhancements make DSM-5 easier to use across all
settings: * The chapter organization reflects a lifespan approach,
with disorders typically diagnosed in childhood (such as
neurodevelopmental disorders) at the beginning of the manual, and
those more typical of older adults (such as neurocognitive
disorders) placed at the end. Also included are age-related factors
specific to diagnosis. * The latest findings in neuroimaging and
genetics have been integrated into each disorder along with gender
and cultural considerations.* The revised organizational structure
recognizes symptoms that span multiple diagnostic categories,
providing new clinical insight in diagnosis. * Specific criteria
have been streamlined, consolidated, or clarified to be consistent
with clinical practice (including the consolidation of autism
disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder
into autism spectrum disorder; the streamlined classification of
bipolar and depressive disorders; the restructuring of substance
use disorders for consistency and clarity; and the enhanced
specificity for major and mild neurocognitive disorders).*
Dimensional assessments for research and validation of clinical
results have been provided.* Both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes are
included for each disorder, and the organizational structure is
consistent with the new ICD-11 in development. The Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, is the most
comprehensive, current, and critical resource for clinical practice
available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers of
all orientations. The information contained in the manual is also
valuable to other physicians and health professionals, including
psychologists, counselors, nurses, and occupational and
rehabilitation therapists, as well as social workers and forensic
and legal specialists.

The book came neatly wrapped and it was brand new, no damage. The product was delivered within the promised time. Overall the DSM was as expected but with super service from Loot.
