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.

I needed to replace the one I had!

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 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.

Great if one knows why they own the manual.

Having this in Kindle format is wonderfully cost effective. That being said, there are two things that aren't so wonderful. The first thing is the fact that when this book was scanned, there are various notes and scribbles in it. If I purchase a Kindle book, I expect it to be pristine, to be honest. It doesn't detract from the material, and certainly doesn't negate the price, so don't let that hinder you...just be aware. The second thing is that I have a hard time navigating through the Kindle DSM to find exactly what I'm looking for. But, again, for the price, it's worth a shot. I actually purchased mine for less than it's selling for now, so it was well worth 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!!!!

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

Excellent quality, came the following morning too, amaIng

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.

This is the authoritative guide to mental illness and psychological disorders. Excellent and very comprehensive.

It’s great especially for the price, the pages are nice and soft :)
