Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition: DSM-5

I should begin by saying that I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist. I am a mom. Sometimes you just need to read for yourself and assess a situation honestly. Sometimes a single BIG lie that hurts everyone around you uncovers a more serious problem like narcissism or sociopathy. Sometimes it’s just a lie with huge ripple effects and it sucks! This book, if read honestly, can provide insights and help determine the next steps in handling situations and people. But in no way, having read through this book am I a professional.

The quality of this book is unbeatable. It’s a must-have reference whether you’re preparing for board exams, revalidation, or specializing in psychiatry. Everything is clearly organized and reliable, making it an essential tool for students and professionals alike. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I needed to replace the one I had!

I had trouble at first with the delivery dates, but they worked hard to get me my materials and that’s an A+ in my book.

I have been using this book for my psych class at Uni for a few months now. The binding has held up. All of the pages are printed well. The book was cheap in comparison to other copies of the same book you can purchase elsewhere. The book arrived in about a week regardless of the fact that it was shipped from Delhi, India.

I am neither a neuroscientist or psychiatrist who depends on this book for profession. I purchased this out of sheer curiosity into the world of brain. So my review focuses on that aspect. 1. So many of the psychological things we come across everyday could be telling much more beneath through its symptoms. Ex: autistic specteum, mild ADHD or OCD etc. This book opens the can of worms. Its scary as well as exciting at the same time. I dont have to visit a psychiatrist to understand my own issues now. 2. I didnt find missing pages and binding problems scanning through the pages. When I do, will update the review 3. Shipping was blazing fast, although fedex created annoyance by trying to deliver when I was out to work. The book ships from India through fedex overnight. I ordered last weekend and it was here in the US within 3 days. But it took two more extra days to get delivery due to signature. So advice to shipper - here in the US signature for delivery is very uncommon and its hard to wait for something to comeby taking an entire day off. Pls avoid it if possible. All in all, a great start for me into the land of psychiatry & neuroscience. May be little bit psychology wherever I can deduce it.

Excellent copy! I don't see any flaws in my book. I received it within 5 days. I was expecting the thinner spiral copy, but it looks like I received the original thick copy. I'm very pleased with it none the less. You can't beat that price. I don't work in the Mental Health Industry, nor am I a student. I'm just a man that had decided to learn, and take an interest in what the doctors and therapists are using to diagnosis and treat their patients. I needed to know if Psychology can be trusted. My wife suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. She was recently seen by a psychiatrist, and he was dead set against DID and SRA. I couldn't understand how a doctor of psychiatry could neglect to recognize DID as a valid disorder since it's listed in the older and current copies of the DSM. I have also read the book "Why Christians Can't Trust Psychology" by Ed Buckley. After reading this book, I can see some of the difficulties within the field of psychology (from a Christian viewpoint). I'm currently reading the book "The Book of Woe, the DSM and the Unmasking of Psychiatry" by Gary Greenberg, and it is eye opening.

I was worried for the package arriving because there had been a thunderstorm and I wanted to emphasize that even in the rain the package was so well wrapped it did not even get wet or anything! Thank you for that! And the pages and book itself is new and very clean nothing seems off at all. Thank you for taking care of your customers! I greatly appreciate the extra step to ensure the book arrives safe!!!!

A very wonderful and helpful book indeed!

very interesting book, worth the value if you're into psychology

Excellent quality, came the following morning too, amaIng

Love this! Came fairly quick and was in good condition. I gifted it to my psychiatrist and he says he uses it all the time!

Uno sconto superiore al 75% rispetto all’originale non può che suscitare scalpore, curiosità e diffidenza. Nonostante numerosi feedback positivi già descrivessero la bontà della scelta ed il prezzo fosse irrisorio, era un salto nel buio che non mi sentivo tranquillo a compiere, conscio che tutto ciò che appare troppo bello per essere vero, 9 volte su 10 non lo sia. Ebbene questo è l’1 su 10: se in effetti il manuale non si presenta immacolato, e non a causa di imballaggio e spedizione come si evince dalla fotografia, è anche vero che si tratta di una manciata di fini irregolarità seminate in un tomo di quasi 1000 pagine e che in alcun modo ne guastano la comprensione. Non ho ragione di credere che il mio sia stato un caso fortunato, sebbene altre testimonianze lamentino qualche refuso o difetto d’impaginazione, ma si comprende l’eventuale stress di dover rendere l’articolo, a fronte magari della possibilità di spendere qualche euro in più per la versione ridotta (Criteri diagnostici), sacrificando qualche capitolo (e forse qualche descrizione) per il comfort della propria lingua madre. A me tuttavia non è sembrato uno scambio equo; e non sono uno specialista.
