Summary:

Now in its fifth and expanded iteration, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013) cements its place as the standard manual that all psychiatrists use in their daily practice and has come to shape the practice of psychiatry in the United States and beyond. But this was nowhere near a smooth process and was fraught with debate and disagreement. The Intelligent Clinician's Guide to the DSM-5® seamlessly guides the reader through all the controversies surrounding the newly released edition of the standard manual of psychiatric diagnosis, section by section. Written in a lively, reader-friendly fashion, the new book provides an evidence-based critique of DSM-5 and outlines issues that Dr. Joel Paris argues should be addressed in future diagnostic classifications. This critical review explains the basis for revisions in the new manual, argues what decisions were correct and which one weren't, and shows how the DSM-5 can best be used by practicing clinicians.
