4.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Tuscon & Bowling Green, September 2, 1999

jam8j@virginia.edu (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV (Paperback)

Thanks to the reviewers from Tuscon & Bowling Green who point out that this is only a tool that attempts to codify the many mental states we collectivly term mental disorders. As a clinician I find it useful as a quick refererence but it doesn't replace good case studies, in depth works and clinical experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars DSM - IV is a manual for use by mental health professionals, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV (Paperback)

DSM-IV is a manual for use by mental health professionals so that there is uniformity in diagnosis and basis for future research. Each diagnosis has been subject to extensive research. DSM-IV only describes symptoms and does not discuss causes for disorders. I would agree with the other reader that I would like to see diagnosis related to anger disorders appearing in future editions. Because there is political concern about anger disorders being used as criminal defenses, the mental health community has been somewhat reluctant to formalize diagnosis in this area. I feel, however, this is important so that the mental health community can be more active in reasearch on anger disorders to provide more effective treatment in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Psych student's best friend..., June 16, 2000

Joscelyn (Calabasas, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV (Paperback)

This manual was excellent for helping the Behavioral Scientist, and Psych student. I would recommend that every Social Science student get one, to help them through the core courses of their quest to get a degree. I also recommend the "companion" to the DSM. That's very helpful too.
