Average Customer Rating:

Misrepresented product	Customer Rating:
I thought I was purchasing an authentic DSM IV. To my great dismay, this is not an original publication it is a very poorly made photocopied and/or scanned version. I question if this is allowed under copyright laws. Very disappointed with this purchase.

"Must Have"	Customer Rating:
A definite "must have" book for any student in a counseling program. Even if not "required", this book makes writing reports so much easier because then you know EXACTLY what is required for deifferent diagnosis. I suggest all counseling/psychology students buy this book as early on in their studies as possible.

My DSM-IV-TR has Broken-Spine Disorder

Customer Rating:

I purchased this from a vendor via Amazon. It was advertised as New, but at substantially lower cost than Amazon. It arrived in new-looking condition. However, within minutes of handling the book, the binding broke and pages are now loose. I see others have this same problem. I also note that on many pages the printing is blurry. I almost wonder whether this is a counterfeit, or printer's error run. Anyhow, the book is unusable and I'm requesting a refund.

Customer service from the vendor was absent!	Customer Rating:
The sellers never returned any of my emails. The book that they sent was misrepresented by the description online. Thank you Amazon for refunding my money. I only hope that the seller was disciplined in some way as they seem to have a track record for this type of activity by the feedback on their website.
