Editorial Reviews
Review
"I found this book helpful in elucidating the differences as well as illuminating the gray areas of differential diagnostics. I especially appreciated the emphasis on the necessity for open-ended or revised diagnoses when the onset of symptoms occurs at an early age or the etiology is undetermined. It seems to reinforce the notion that diagnoses are often works in progress rather than set in stone, which also allows for more flexibility in treatment modalities."-- "Doody Publishing"

A Word of Caution,

This review is from: DSM-IV-TR Case Studies: A Clinical Guide to Differential Diagnosis (Dms-IV-Tr Library) (Paperback)
This seems to be a good basic resource for the students exploring the world of DSM-IV-TR. It was published by the same house who publishes DSM etc., but look on page 4. Mental retardation is coded on Axis I! As of today I was unable to explain why, hence I assume it is a cardinal mistake/typo, which unfortunately cannot be tolerated in any diagnosis book.

This review is from: DSM-IV-TR Case Studies: A Clinical Guide to Differential Diagnosis (Dms-IV-Tr Library) (Paperback)
I rated this book only because I used it way more than I would have liked to for the purpose of several class assignments. For those who are interested in differential diagnosis, the case studies may prove useful.
