Von der hinteren Coverseite

With nearly 200 cases drawn from the authors' own clinical experience, as well as that of over 100 well-known experts in particular areas of diagnosis and treatment, Learning DSM-5® by Case Example is the comprehensive guide to mental disorders for practitioners and students of all levels in psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and psychiatric nursing. At least one case presentation is provided for each of the disorders catalogued in DSM-5, and nearly half of the disorders include multiple cases that give readers an appreciation for the heterogeneity typical of these disorders.

The authors help readers develop essential, internalized prototypes of DSM-5 disorders by first describing each disorder in relatable terms and subsequently illustrating how these symptom constellations manifest in real-life settings using clinical case material. With definitions of potentially unfamiliar medical and psychiatric terms, Learning DSM-5® by Case Example is an accessible resource for readers of all disciplines. And because it guides the reader through the organizational structure of DSM-5, it is also an ideal reference for courses on psychopathology or abnormal psychology.
