This new edition of the American Psychiatric Association s 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. This manual, which creates a common language for clinicians involved in the diagnosis of mental disorders, includes concise and specific criteria 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. 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. DSM-5 is the most definitive resource for the diagnosis and classification of mental disorders
This book is so worth the price. It's organized perfectly and holds so much information. This is definitely a book that I'll keep with me for as long as it'll hold up. Even though I'm not studying to become a clinical psychologist or psychotherapist, I'll be researching developmental psychology and this will come in handy!

It's a useful reference, if you want the hardback version

I probably didn't need the hardback but I got it since it was a symbol of the start of my new career and it'll be useful until they update. I love books rather than e-books, things stay in my mind better. This is well made and if you got it you know why you wanted it. Unfortunately the ink gets a little smudgy if you highlight in it!
