Summary: informative and actually somewhat fun
Comment: I found this book to provide excellent supplemental info to the "DSM-IV-TR" itself. Written case studies, though no substitute for living, breathing subjects, actually provide a good deal of help in learning to apply the diagnoses in the "DSM-IV-TR". Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to properly apply these diagnoses or learn more about psychiatry in general. I found it actually kind of fun. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Summary: I'm OK, you're OK, this book is great!
Comment: Well, never thought I would recommend a book like this one, but there has never BEEN a book quite like it. Recall once seeing a renowned Rorschacer examine vignettes like this manual does, and it was great. We enjoyed it, and learned from it.
My recent books read include "Exploration & Empire" by Goetzmann, a history of topography, so you know I enoy plain stuff.
Many of the sympton analyses in this book surprised me, but after careful thought, realized they were beneficial.
Was especially interested in "borderline" type stuff and the OCD sections which showed how OCD can be on both axis I and II.
This book taught me once again that while we all have personality "traits" only the mentally have a DSM number assigned to our excesses.
Was especially inspired by parts about "organic" dysfunctions, so you know it was inspirational. Have a friend with OPD (310.10 explosice type) and became more sensitive to the difficulty adjusting when you are not maladaptive to begin with.
Love to complain, but can't find anything to fault this book. Buy it, read it and if you don't have a place for it in your library, pass it on.

Summary: The DSM IV-TR in Action!
Comment: The Case Book was an optional selection for a psychopathology course I am currently enrolled in. I am glad I spent the money to get it because to a novice like myself, the vignettes are very helpful in understanding the arcane world of DSM IV-TR diagnosis.
This book is truly a "learning companion." Concepts and terminology are illustrated by real-life clinical situations, which can be enormously helpful for clinician and student alike to see how the DSM IV-TR plays out in the real world.
The New England Journal of Medicine said that this book is "educational and fun to read," and I would have to agree on both counts.
