The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the Dsm-5(r) (Revised)

This is an excellent presentation of the reality of the DSM. The author does a good job of describing how thoroughly the DSM lacks any empirical reliability or validity. However, he does describe how, despite its lack of empirical support, it can be a useful tool to help clinicians communicate with each other. I've taught our counseing program's disagnosis a couple of times and found this is an excellent textbook for master's level students.

Great transaction and good condition. This book is an excellent resource, one of those textbooks you would keep on the shelf for reference.

Didn't need it a lot but when I did need it it was great.

Disorganized, incomplete, full of derailed thinking. I came back to this book more than a few times hoping to find some specific question answered, ex. Where is code for "no diagnosis"? Although the author has a section entitled "No Mental Disorder", there is no hint of an answer. The author brags that he has taughtDSM for years to which this reader car only say "poor students".

Just okay.Helpful pieces of information throughout, but the authors biases and very apparent chip on his shoulder make it hard to digest sometimes.

Nice discussion of the DSM-5. Paris has been in the business for decades and provides philosophical as well as practical insights to the new manual. Reads quickly.

This was an excellent book. It really helped.

Every psychologist and counselor should read this if we must use the DSM-5. I would prefer the PDM!

Fascinating book

Good read and insight into the DSM! Great for critical thinking.

great condition.
