Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria From DSM-IV-TR,   ISBN:9780890420270

Customer Rating: 

This tiddy little reference book is exactly what I needed in leiu of carrying my full size DSM all of the time.

Customer Rating: 

This version is extremely helpful. The copy I was using before was falling apart due to binding issues and over use. This book has a spiral binding and is a breeze to use when looking anything up.

Customer Rating: 

The DSM-IV-TR desk reference is an indispensable part of any clinician's armamentarium. It offers concise diagnostic guidance in a portable and easy to use format. It does not include details contained in the complete edition that some might find useful, but for day-to-day, case-to-case work it is fine.

Customer Rating: 

Mea culpa, I didn't see that this was only a desk reference. I was hoping for the full DSM spiral bound. Oh, well. Anyway, this is a nice resource if all you need is the symptom lists of the disorders. If you want the full text, you need to go elsewhere.

I guess the reason I gave it only 3 stars is because of the price. Even at a discounted price of about $35, it seems excessive. It's a small book, after all! I think I paid about the same for a used version of the FULL DSM-IV-TR!

Good for what it is, though.
