Review: Excellent book for a beginner Psychiatry resident. Walks you trough the DSM-IV in a very logical, sequential manner. You will learn how and when use specifiers. The case-scenarios are a plus. After reading this book it is very easy to memorize the DSM -IV criteria. Very easy to read.

Review: While listing the criteria for the various disorders, the case studies and vignettes provide valuable insight into the diagnostic process. The section on " common mistakes in diagnosis" allow the reader to better understand the application of the criteria. Would highly recommend this book to those who are relatively new in the field and are looking for more clinical applications of the DSM-IV categories.
